shitty gas mileage?

[jboyce]

I only got 360 miles off a full tank of gas, the gas light hadn't come on yet at 360 miles, but it was close. Thats only like 22 miles per gallon...isn't that bad?

[AccordWarrior]

If its a full tank, that's like 27+

This belongs in tech, not off topic

I don't know about you guys, but I only have a 15 gallon tank. I get about 450 per tank, and that's around 29mpg.

[gloryaccordy]

I get about 260-300 from 13-14 gallons...its a lot better in the summer, and worse in the winter (ethanol?). I think that's like 18-22 MPG, which is about what we're rated for in the city. Most of my mileage is from going to and from the train station to go to school, so I think that's decent mileage. It's been pretty steady; I've buckled down and got maybe 23MPG, and I've driven like a complete asshole for a full tank and got maybe 20MPG in the summer. I think I'm gonna do a wet compression test though just to be safe...

What are you guys getting from your tanks?

i have an ex and i think it has a 15 gallon and 3 gallon reserve i get about 420 in town and 450 hwy before gas light comes on....but yes this does belong in tech

[Bluejayde]

Why does everyone talk about havinga reserve tank? I've dropped my tank twice and never found a "reserve". My tank hols 15 gallons and that's it.

[texasvtak]

I get 23ish in the city, 26 or 27 hwy.. and a 14.7 gallon tank. No reserve.

My gas Mileage sucks as well, I'm only getting 14 FUCKING MILES TO THE GALLON, CALL ME CARZY BUT THAT'S REAL SHITTY MILEAGE. Any suggestion other than a New air filter and spark plugs. Maybe checking Timing, or a new fuel filter? Any help is apreciated.

edit.

Sorry I forgot to mention this is all city driving with nothing above 45mph. And my car is an Automatic. Thanks

ttt

[menmy92]

i was getting about 18 mpg but i took a suggestion from my dad/mechanic, he told me it might be a bad o2 sensor in my car, so i replaced that and now im getting about 26... just a suggestion for any of you guys??

[Tone-us]

Yeah I allready changed the O2 sensor. Too bad I don't have any idea what else it could be?

dang dude 360 is good....or atleast compared to me..i usually only get about 290-325....but hardly every in the 300's...usually 290...and thats with a 15 or so gallon refill...i wish i got 360 miles to a tank

Definitely get a new fuel filter. Could try fuel injection clean and air filter. Nothing much else than what you mentioned.

If you have an ex model you have areserve that when the 15 gallons gets low enough and your gas light comes on and the resrve kicks in it is only a 3 gallon compartment built into the tank again this is only on the ex model

you might need to change your catalitic converter being clogged can cause bad mileage to fuel filter is a must too

[91AccordLX]

how can you check to see if your cat converter is bad?
