Default b18 bad gas milage

what up guys this is whats up i have a b18b in my car converted to obd0 and it runs great the only thing is that when i fill up the car with gas by the first couple of minute im really low if i fill it up to the full line by 30 minutes or more im already half way to the middle line. i just replaced spark plugs a while back did oil change radioator flush, and head gasket replaced,new seals installed and i dont know why the gas is going down so low injectors are good. i a little stuck and dont have time time to work on the car and search i have to be at school all day a little hepl would be cool thanks guys

^again mileage numbers are key.

In 4 days of driving you could easily use up $20 of fuel. Fill your tank up set your odometer to zero and report back with how many miles you get to that full tank. Without that no one is going to be able to help you.

This seems to be a common misconception...I've asked people about their gas mileage, and almost every one gives me a response like "It only takes X amount of dollars to fill up", or "I get 300 miles to a tank". WTF people? Does no one know how to calculate gas mileage anymore?

So you're getting approx. 50 miles to a tank?! 5mpg!? Holy sh*t brah, that IS bad. I wouldn't think your car would even run with that rich a fuel mixture...are you sure your gas tank or fuel lines aren't leaking?
