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.

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?????

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 · 08-19-2008, 01:24 PM

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?

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??

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

haha

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

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

*!Zar!* · 09-01-2008, 02:49 AM

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

*MELLO*SOS* · 09-01-2008, 05:13 AM

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!

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???!!!?!

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
