gas mileage Options

[XS4lv1Truch0x]

well yeah, i was driving around today right, and than i get an empty tank so i go fill it up with exacly 1 gallon.

i got like 20 mpg before the car started to die on me

is 20 mpg bad on a gt?

[lsskys]

depends on the type of driving

[thedro]

its def not good, thats like a trucks mpg..

[XS4lv1Truch0x]

20 mpg street.

not hard driving, not easy driving either, but mostly kinda average driving.

i think it has something to do with my check engine light

oh and my gas light is on lol what do i do about that! im not getting any codes from it jpjp

[lsskys]

that's the same as i get mostly local, i get about 30 doing parkway

[XS4lv1Truch0x]

okay, i just went out and got another gallon exacly, same gas station and all of that.

this time i ran it HARD, i mean yellow light hard, and it got me like 13 or 14 mpg, is that normal?

yes its empty now

this was within a half an hr and on the street.

'94 ST I get about 32 MPG in the city average driving with 89 octane fuel I'm not complainin

26 city and around 35-38 highway.

Thats not a good mpg. Try filling the tank, run it until the low fuel light comes on. Then fill it and divide the miles you went verses the gallons you used. Much better way to get an accurate reading. I have a 95 gt 5 speed and I get 25-30 mpg city/highway. Theres either something wrong with the car or your driving.

did you ever get your cel figured out yet? i bet she needs a good tuneup.

[j0e_p3t]

manual cars usually get better gas mileage. but your auto is pretty bad. you should try to get a tune up before the meet. wouldn't wanna run out of gas when we cruise.

lewfx's shop is opened the 20th-27th

[dav0924]

i have a 95 gt and everytime I fill up the tank all the way it usually gets empty before i get 200 miles on it

[toyotacrazy]

200 miles to a tank is poor. I get 375-400 when the needle is on the empty line.

[Tech9ine]

I get a little over 600km's to a tank. Cost's me about $50 to fill @ $1.10/Liter (in Canadian funds). so i believe 20mpg is quite bad.

[LewFX]

i want my mpg's

[nightryder]

yeah i get from 29-31 highway/backroad. I would reccomend a serious tuneup if you are only getting 20 mpg.

[XS4lv1Truch0x]

yeah ima look into a tune up then, and ima see whats up with the engine code.

[toyotacrazy]

Its more than likely an o2 sensor. Unless you have aftermarket plugs.

[XS4lv1Truch0x]

engine is stock.

check engine light is on

damn it ima try to get it scanned today!

thats on 87 too, should i try 89 next and see if i get a difference?
