Low gas mileage

[guam671]

Well i am wondering what are the things i need to check that could be causing low mileage. I am getting less than 350 city. Thanks. I plan on checking these myself unless i need some advanced tools than i go to a shop. Preferred to do myself.

What's your actual MPG? I guesstimated you filling up to 14 when on "E", since that's a general consensus, and came up with 25mpg. 25mpg in the city ain't too shabby.

Be very glad about that man! I get less than 275 miles to a tank, anywhere from 18-21 mpg!

Make sure car is tuned up -plugs, filters, 5W-30 oil,etc. 2. Keep tires inflated to whatever is comfortable - 30 psi cold min. If the oxygen sensor is malfunctioning this will be a real gas waster and the engine will run rough.

Okay thanks. I will check everything.

I usually fill up at least 15. Sometimes even 15.9.
I (if I'm feeling ballsy) can go till 400 a tank. It just depends on how much highway driving I did that tank.

Im getting 320 to a tank in my H22 5 speed wagon. get a good tune up fuel filter, spark plugs, oil change, cap and rotor, plug wires, throw a fuel injector cleaner in the tank. clean your air filter

Me too about that. I got a 1990 LX 4AT. The car runs smooth and accelerate well. All tune up done and tire pressure all good. Timing is on red mark.
