Gas Mileage!

[Camurai]

I consider a tank going from absolutely full to the needle pointing at E. (About 14 gallons.) I'm getting about 400 miles out of that with roughly a 50/50 split of highway and surface roads. That averages out to about 29mpg. Considering my last vehicle was a 4x4 pickup that netted me around 14mpg, I'm pretty happy with this kind of mileage.

[be_mex91]

yeah i get like 360 mpg on my 91 lx on a full tank

[GenDBlade]

yeah mines pretty crappy. like 275 a tank or sumething.
my empty tank light is out

[Catch-22]

I'm getting about 300-350 on a tank, and by a tank I mean somewhere between 12-14 gallons-- city and highway

[foamypirate]

Ditto on the 350 or so per tank. If I drive like a granny (what the hells the fun in that?) I can get 27mpg, or around 380 on a tank, all in city.

This begs the question, if you add an aftermarket air filter, like a cold air or short ram, will you get better gas mileage, or worse?

[Catch-22]

well I think my mpg has gotten worse since I put in my cold air, but that could also be my driving

[Losiracer2]

well the cold air should help your mpg, given that you dont romp on it all the time. I got 32mpg w/ CAI, header, Catback, 17s going all highway w/ the AC on. so idk, just keep it steady at a constant pace and that's how you net high mpg's

[Catch-22]

yeah, but my headers are still sitting in a box, and I can't get the catback until my student loan comes in...so I'm not running a full system yet. would that matter?

no that shouldn't, by itself (intake) AEM claims 2-3 mpg can be achieved. but it all depends on the condition of your engine.

well she's pushing 270k miles, so there's that. I run mobil 1 every 3000 miles though....


but hey, that's what engine swaps are for

[AllWhiteCoupe]

I dont know my MPG, but 5 bucks, at $3 a galon gets me about 50 miles. I went out racing with my lil' bro one night, and i went through about 4 1/2 gallons of gas in about 45 min. That said, you gotta remember, alot i based on driving style.

[ikayto]

I get 400 miles to a tank with my H22, about 50/50 city and highway... not all light-footed, either. The head is also damaged (damaged sparkplug threads in 1 and 3).



When you add performance mods, you often run rich. If you have an intake, header, or exhaust system on there (aftermarket stuff, obviously) you've probably decreased your mileage. The ECU sees more airflow and dumps more fuel. If you want to fix it, your best bet is to get the ECU tuned, which isn't cheap... or learn to do it yourself. Not many people here tune basic NA F22As. It's all H22, F22B, H23, or turbo.

i have intake, headers, and exhaust and my mileage is the same if not better lol.

This begs the question, if you add an aftermarket air filter, like a cold air or short ram, will you get better gas mileage, or worse?

I noticed almost no difference in gas mileage with my aem cai.
