350 Miles!!!

[21Nemesis]

After 350 miles, I finally had the fuel light come on (stock KA w/220K mi.). CRAZY! I've usually been only to average around 315 miles to the tank.

[LongGrain]

wow, i would go well over 350 and ive never had my gas light come on even when i had the KA

with the SR i'm getting about 30mpg with no o2 sensor, so if you do the math thats 400-450 miles to a tank.

[DohcKA]

man i get like 160miles to 3/4 of a tank.... damn what the hell is wrong with my shit... on average i'd say i get 200-250 miles tops on a full tank

[BigVinnie]

I get on AVERAGE 445 Miles freeway, per tank. That is on average 28MPG.

[SoguRacing]

i get about 18 to a gallon in the city. are you guys converting kmph to mph before doing the mileage calculations? the best i've done in the city is about 21 mpg and about 25mpg on the highway.

[WTFaNG]

What the BOjangles! you guys must never get on the peddle or something, ive never even broken 300. my usual maxed out is 280miles on a full tank with the SR.

[BigVinnie]

I'm using an N60 maf along with many bolt ons, I average 28MPG.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Im lucky if I hit 300 KM on a full tank...

[ScarredOne]

I'm usually in the low 20's with a lot of highway driving. This last tank though, I kept it at a steady 65-70mph on the highway (good traffic flow) and netted 31.7 mpg on the first 3 gallons of a completely filled tank.

[frosti108]

is it odd that ive never wondered or cared about the gas mileage of my s13? i bought the car for speeding and having fun. if i was really worried about gas mileage, there wouldnt be a turbo on it...

come on guys, since when did our s13s turn into hondas :P


although i guess its totally possible that some people bought their 240 simply for a daily driver that gets decent gas mileage... i just think thats not fair to the car lol


Vinnie- im running an N60 mafs as well, but i also have bigger injectors, and im not exactly shooting for mpgs

[BigVinnie]

Yeah more pulse width= less gas mileage....Ohh well I'm still on the stock 270's. Duty cycle is almost maxed out on th eset up that I have so soon I will have to upgrade to 300 or better for less MPG....:-/

[white92_s13]

im lucky to get 300 to a tank. i HAVE to use the a/c and that kills the mpg.

i drive 10 miles to work, and 10 miles home everyday and it lasts me a week, becuase i have to go to the store, or school ect. it kills me.

[ZX88]

im not even sure if my gas light works. my gage jumps all over the place lol.

When they are used for daily traveling and gas prices are going up.

Same here... I'm currently at 310 KM's on this tank and it's on the E.... This is the first time I've had it over 300km since last August... Although, it IS better than the 90-100km I WAS getting to a full tank.

[ANDOX]

what the hell is going on? I only get like 240 on a sr. u guys all got hybrids or what? lol

[wangan_cruiser]

i hit 325mph for freeway. haha with a 244k ka. my work is less than 15 miles :D

[Sileighty_85]

My SR averages 30mpg on the highway

[drift freaq]

best I have pulled is 28 mpg without running air on a DOHC. If your running air but things are right you should be able to pull 375 miles with your foot in it at 80-90 the whole way :D.

[ANDOX]

How'd u set up your sr to get that kind of miles?

[mrmephistopheles]

i hit 325mph

Holy fuck that's gotta be a new top speed record for S-chassis.

[xkamikazestormx]

i get about 480mi before the gas light turns on in my s14. thats about 28mpg

[spacedog]

Holy fuck that's gotta be a new top speed record for S-chassis.

LOL i was gonna point that out

[aziankingz]

i hate you all... sucks living in the city..

[Dutchmalmiss]

Hypermiling techniques got me about 33 mpg mixed city/hwy on my SR with bolt ons. That's roughly 650kms to the tank (jdm cluster)

Although it's pretty oxymoronic to be driving a SPORTS car economically, it's a new driving experience when you figure you can get more than the dealer thinks it can get.

[zaquanh]

thats wierd that you get that when i can get 242.86 miles on a half tank , thats from my house in san antonio to houston texas with a bunch of stuff in the car (for events )'

so 485.72 miles for a full tank

89 240sx red top sr20det fmic, 3 in straight pipe , coilovers , crappy alignment

[hustlervibes]

I get into the 400-440 miles on a tank, but I've never seen my gas light turn on.

Stock KA btw.

[soreballz]

Best I've ever done was 392 miles on one tank. That was coming back from AZ at 2am, mashing in 4th and 5th the entire way to stay awake. lol
Normally I average about 350 to a tank.

[i8yourfwd]

Holy fuck that's gotta be a new top speed record for S-chassis.
Don't s13s just implode on themselves, creating a mini black hole at those kind of speeds?

That or all those zip tied on aero parts just fly off and feed on first born children.

[artdrifter]

Hahah every time i stepped on the gas my gas gauge would drop to empty and then when i would let off it would go back to full. The first time i drove it i thought OH SHIT i have a major gas leak because it went from full to WAYYYY below empty in less than thirty seconds.

[aziankingz]

any ka24e single cammers getting ridiculous mileage per tank? i filled mine up and got 180 miles of NYC city-stop-go and at times gunning it driving for 10.4 gallons, which is about 17 mpg.. i want to know what other SOHC members are getting.

[drftthatshit]

well idk how much a stock 240 tank holds but i always fill mine up when it gets to about an 1/8th of a tank left and at that time i have about 300 miles but im not very nice to it also does any one have this prob my gas guage goes down to 1/2 tank really fast but the last half of the tank it takes a long time?????

Jesus Christ the closest thing to periods were the dots on those i's.

[aziankingz]

does any one have this prob my gas guage goes down to 1/2 tank really fast but the last half of the tank it takes a long time?????

mine does it the other way around.. from full to half it goes down slowly, then after its like a freefall for that damn guage..not sure what it is? some people says its the fuel sender?

[drftthatshit]

yeah thats what im thinkn to. That my sending unit is bad but when i fill up i fill with about 11 gallons does that sound right?

[The Chad]

I remember a time when i though my S14 was awesome because it got on avg 25-30mpg...then I got my Volvo 240...jumped it to about 35-40 on the hwy...
....
.... Then i got the bike. It's a tiny Suzuki Savage Single Cyl 650cc that gets about 65-75mph on average!!!!!! :) Who needs 4 cylinders anyways?? :)

[bblack_91240]

I get into the 400-440 miles on a tank, but I've never seen my gas light turn on.

Stock KA btw.

I was gonna say, I didn't think 350 was that impressive. I had 325mi on my tank and I still had a 1/4 tank left.. Thats more highway than city on an SR, pretty much stock setup except the FMIC and block back exhaust. I wasn't babying it though, I was cruising :2f2f:haha

[beeracing s14]

my gas light never turns on before i turn the engine on.. how do you change the bulb?

[meme]

wow! i get about 230 miles to a tank on 87. i drive a 91 auto.

[!Zar!]

For a few weeks I got 180 per tank on my kat setup.

[MELLO*SOS]

I've ran out of fuel once in my 240 KA, it was mildly annoying. I think I averaged 300 something a tank, so 359 is pretty impressive.

I must say, my gasoline expense has dropped through the floor ever since I put my 240 on jackstands and started working for myself outta the house. It's so awesome, I'm buying a V8 sedan. Hooray for self employment and reduced expenses!

[lol_1337]

wow, i would go well over 350 and ive never had my gas light come on even when i had the KA

with the SR i'm getting about 30mpg with no o2 sensor, so if you do the math thats 400-450 miles to a tank.

Whattttt???!!!?!

[murda-c]

something tells me the fuel gauge isn't very linear.

anyway driving to PA i got 425 before i decided to fill up and I averaged 28mpg on the highway. with a stock ka and a 3" exhaust and header
