Thats what I get. I get 25 mpg on highways/freeways and 21 mpg on city streets.

 

umm u think that was bad, i was getting 160 on a full tank. now i get about 220 after i cleaned my injectors with some injector cleaner =P

 

LOL...damn..it must of been hella dirty...i get about 230-250 fo a full tank all the way to the light...i get 270-300....the most i ever got was 350

 

i use to get about 230 on a full tank. now i can get about 350. cleaned the fuel injectors and i pulled off my power steering. kinda stiff but you'll get use to it.

 

i usually get around 300 on a full tank

 

is that city or highway/freeway driving?

recommendations? leave the lead foot at home.

 

i got 13.5 on the highway out of my 600+ horse 427 big block chevy, that means cruizing at 65 and turing 3100 rpm...

 

I GET 30-35MPG

 

I used to get 28 MPG in general. Since the gas prices went up, i've gotten 23-26 MPG. I was beginning to think my car was finally taking a sh*t on me, but now after hearing this....i might not be the only one. Last thing I need to do is a valve adjustment. After that, i've pretty much tuned up teh car as much as I know how to.

 

110 miles for me , wooohoo and this is actually the best i got lol

 

you kno that when you start modding your car you will lose your fuel efficeincy.

 

i get 23-27 usually, usu. around 240 on a full tank, most i've ever gotten (almost all highway) was 330.

All stock.

 

I get 300 to a tank (city driving) so that's about 30 miles per gallon with a/c on and all highway, the most I have gotten is 360....not sure why it is so good...but I am not complaining either!

 

i get over 300 all the time, with city driving, i have never got under like 315

 

I usually get a little below or above 300 miles on a full tank and thats with the occasional use of the AC.

 

Right now im getting about 280 per tank(11.-11.5 gallons) in my turbo Ls

So thats about 25 MPG, City/Hwy drving, I always use the A/c too (Texas )

and the car sees full boost daily, actualy quite often

 

17-21 city/24-27 highway

2000 gsr all stock, except for stereo .

Of course, my old chevy went from 28 highway to 34 highway with a change of tires, cheap turing radials with crappy traction. They squeeked every turn, had no wet traction, and sucked all around, except they got me great mileage. So if you're running nice sticky tires, just think about the rolling resistance they provide. You can't have it all, and if you want mileage, there's always the civic hx and/or hybrid.

For those people who say building out the car will lower mileage, I'm not sure about that. My 1979 Triumph Spitfire was getting around 25 stock, but can manage a nice 55 mpg highway now, 34 city. Of course, it received headers, free flowing exhaust, high flow cat, removal of the egr, port and polish (there's a week of my life I will never get back), 2 barrel downdraft carb (single side draft stock, yuck), high power coil, splitfire plugs (I swear by these for old cars), more agressive cam, high compression pistons, complete lower end balance, etc... This list just goes on and on. Of course, that car weights something like 1800 lbs and has no power steering or AC. Incidently, car is for sale, electric blue, under 2k miles on rebuilt motor.

 

32/33ish mpg is what i got last time i checked...that was half interstate and half city....i havent checked in a while since i havent had such a long drive to work anymore.

 

95 Turbo GSR. I see around 25 mpg. This is combining highway/city driving. I hit full boost maybe once during a trip, so its usually driven pretty easy unless a mustang or civic with a fart can rolls up on me. Im pretty happy with that mileage, I thought it would be much worse with turbo. I got around 27 mpg with my all motor setup I had last year. So, I didn't lose much.

If I am reading this correct. Your saying that since the gas "prices" have risen your miles per gallon have dropped ...umm the gas price has nothing to do with miles per gallon bud.

 

bbbbbbbbump

 

I get around 300 to a tank.

I went an entire tank once not touching over 2500 rpm and i think i got around 400.

2k LS

 

i can get 375 highway on a tank... or 250 city.

 

I was getting 30-33 MPG on my GSR (revvin to 9k, all day, NA, ba-bey).

 

I drove almost 4000 miles in the month of June, filled up 11 times, and never once got less than 32 mpg average for the tank. I got as high as 36, and got as much as 407 miles on one tank.

&lt;-- GS-R engine completely stock, coming up on 170K miles now.
