Is this how gas prices make you feel?

I think this is true

Good sign, but not really.

I can still get 400 miles out of my daily driver for less than $25.00.

My daily driver is a 1992 EG hatch (CX) with a D16Y7 swap, that is currently getting 50MPG in the city. It has a 10 gallon tank, and I don't ever run empty, so that should give you an idea. It also runs just fine on 87 Octane, so that drops the price a bit too.

I am going to see if I can do what I have done with my Accord and get more mileage and more power. Can't go wrong with that.

As for my Accord, it is an auto with 215K, and I am routinely averaging 28-30MPG in town and almost 40 on the highway.

I used to get about 22-23 MPG city and about 28 MPG highway when my Accord was much younger and stock.

My mods are in my mod list. They all increased my mileage slightly. I could itemize about what they made, but that is not the intent of this thread. Subtract about 2MPG for tires and wheels (more if yours are heavy), as I have stocks on right now.

All mileage figures are with no special driving on my part (i.e. I don't nurse the car for more mileage, I just drive the way I always have).

The point is, that you CAN have your cake and eat it too, if you are smart about what you do.

huh i get about 350-380/15 gallons which is about 46 bucks worth....and i fill up about 7 times a month!!!!! thats on average $320/month in gas. gas prices suck. i remember when 25bucks filled up my tank....ahhh the good ol days when oil companies weren't making 10's billion dollars in profit...

[CA1978]

I get 368 miles from a full tank now that is street and hwy miles on a 91 2dr lx stock.

Thats sounds like my car!!

[accrdpower]

lol on average i will get 24mpg city and 26mpg highway in the winter months. during the summer months i will get 26-28mpg city and upwards of 34-36mpg highway

[midnightrayne]

yeah for 300miles with 450cc injectors and boost! but i have to use 93 so its about 45 to fill up every other week. it could be better i just havent had the time to play with the map. and lately i have had a lead foot.

[owequitit]

Well, everybody should be looking at the bright side.

You COULD be driving something like a Suburban and getting 9 MPG with a $150-200 weekly fillup...

Talk about ouch.

i have a 5 speed and i only get 34 mpg on the highway..no way an auto would get better mileage..

[accrdpower]

maybe your driving habits are bad/maybe ur engine is in worse shape/maybe it is not as modded as his.......i have an auto and can get up to 36-38mpg during the summer on the highway.
