38 Mpg?

[f22a192lx]

I drive a 92 lx all stock except for an sri. I was on the highway for 278 miles and filled up all the way to 7.2 gallons which comes out to about 38 mpg. I figured this could be an error on the pump but ive achieved 37 mpg before. Not that this is a problem but is there any particular reason it can come out this high?

You drive like Ms. Daisy, and you never do more then 55/60 on the highway?

I got 570miles on a tank once. That's around 38MPG. Its possible.

100% possible cause i usually get 450-500 per tank strait interstate
and i go the speed limits

Any way to improve MPG on an H without hurting performance? Other than having to drive like Ms.Daisy lol.

good tune up new air filter/fuel filter to start

Tune ups are obviously the first step, but maybe any modifications that may help is well? Certain sized exhaust for example, would it help to upgrade my exhaust system for better MPG. You get what I'm trying to ask?

Question: Are your rims and tires OEM spec?

If not, your odometer may be wrong, causing your MPG calculations to be incorrect. Also 'topping-off' your tank will throw off the calculations even more...just food for thought here.

38mpg does seem high, but not impossible. We have a 17gallon tank. I usually average 425miles from fill-up to low-fuel light...Mixed driving.

yeah 14" steelies and my odometer was right because the gps also said 278. I also never top off. One thing i did notice was that the engine temp gauge was on the line towards the c.

could just be a bad connection at the gauge. mine used to drop until i changed the connector because the old one got loose and soaked in oil from the distributor seal.

that means your thermostat is broken. Its stuck open causing you to overcool your engine. You may get even better mileage with the engine in its proper operating temperature.

I had this same thing happen to my daily cb7. The temp needle just barely got over the C. I bought a Honda thermostat with gasket for about 26 bucks.

If I drive slow I have seen 32 all around mileage. But I hate driving slow so I see like 25-28 most of the time.
