mpg question

[roketdemon02]

i was just thinking this morning while filling up.Kinda hard to describe but i fill my car up and lets say i get around 150 mpg on the first half of tank.would i get better mpg if i jus filled it half way each time and get better mileage since its less weight or would i hardly notice.

Sorry man but i am having a really tough time figuring out what you are asking?

I'm assuming you are referring to miles per gallon?

[mtnbikaah]

You can't accurately calculate your fuel economy by "filling the tank halfway" so how would you tell that you are doing better?

When someone calculates their fuel economy it is an average for the tank. Providing your driving is consistent on consistent roads the "second half" of your tank will always be better than the first half.

just because your gauge seems to fall slower for the first half doesnt mean you get better mpg. its just the way it reads. if anything you get better mpg with less gas because theres less weight.
every car i ever had did the same thing. the first half of the tank seemed to go slower than the last half

[roketdemon02]

sorry for being a lil confusing but yea im talking about miles per gallon.

[Dani Filth]

might want to read what you type before you send it. you even misspelled the title

[dhill_cb7]

Oh ok well dani is right. The first part of the tank always goes slower than the rest of the tank. As for mpg there is a huge thread here where a guy has gone into great detail. I'll edit my post when i find it.

if you want better mpg you need to restore your engine and then do a good ecu tune

[roketdemon02]

yea this was just an ideal i had this morning but im in the process of a good tune up and i always get confused in the whole ecu area.

or just drive normal and not smash on the pedal
seems to work for me and i get approx 320 per tank

[Dani Filth]

ideal?
put some thought into things. what reason do you think would be for better mpg with the first half of the tank
and the whole ecu area would actually take some thought not just an ideal

I have a h22a in my car and I get about 250 miles per tank? Is that normal? Or should I be getting more

I got 414 miles to a tank while pulling an empty trailer in my accord.

How the hell did you pull that off? Most people can barely get 400 miles out of a tank these days!

I don't understand how people get such poor fuel economy.

This past May I got 525.5 miles out of a single tank. 34.4mpg. And that was with a wagon! and with speed limits at 70mph.
