Roughly 300-320 miles per tank. Not bad but still jealous of the guys pulling 28-30mpg or so. I will be changing the spark plug wires, cap, rotor, temp sensor, and O2 sensor soon. Hopefully that will help.

add fuel filter to that list too. They're fairly cheap and easy to change. The 300ZX fuel filter is what I use and it's actually cheaper than the 240SX filter.

I got 387 miles on 14.8 gallons of fuel with 90% highway so 26.1mpg with my S13 coupe with 225/40/18 and automatic transmission reving about ~3,400rpm ~90mph on a very long drive.

UNISA JECS · 05-31-2008, 07:19 PM

I plan on changing my final drive to 3.63 from the current 4.08 to see how much my highway milage improves.

oscarsx · 05-31-2008, 09:56 PM

im not really sure, but i can make it from my home to work with 15 bucks... and its an 2hour drive going and coming back, which i think is good... not to mention i have to come up on el cajon pass coming towards barstow, which can suck up your gas..

and did u guys know has is now 4.25 a gallon? blaahhhh... where is my skateboard!

240cracker · 05-31-2008, 10:01 PM

i get like 200miles on a full tank in my auto single cam for the daily.
piece of shit.

krisdeezy · 05-31-2008, 11:32 PM

that sounds like a new fuel pump if your gas gauge goes up and down ?...anyways how's the improvement on the seafoam and fuel filter ?

Wabash9000 · 06-01-2008, 12:14 AM

I drive my car hard all the time and I still get 24 city 27 highway.

bunnathp · 06-06-2008, 07:13 PM

my mpg is not that great. i filled up with 89 and got only about 190 miles on the tank. its ridiculous.

Bud88 · 06-06-2008, 09:08 PM

93 octane
s13 sr
25mpg city........damn gas prices

singlecamslam · 06-06-2008, 09:17 PM

man this thread started out with a guy asking for help, and everyone is just showing off their gas mileage. Mines horrible, about 12 MPG. Changed fuel pressure regulator, coolent temp sensor, and nothing helped. This sucks. You guys make me jealous.

rb25crazy · 06-07-2008, 02:19 PM

i get around 25-28 mpg, socal s14 here... keep it below 2500 revs and do go to full throttle all the time will get you better gas mileage =D, but it's not worth it no fun =P

***enkei2k*** · 06-09-2008, 02:21 PM

my mpg is about 14-15....all local streets, bone stock except for the HKS exhaust...rarely rev past 3k except for getting on the highway...did a full tune up when i got the car less than 2 months ago.

jinesz32 · 06-09-2008, 02:24 PM

with a full tank, i drove from oxnard to san diego, which is about 200 miles, and had a little less than half tank, just a LITTLE under half. i dont know how many mpg i get because my speedo dont worrk =/

backroadtouge · 06-09-2008, 09:42 PM

i use 93octane
only fill half a tank to keep car weight down, more mpg
im getting 400ish miles a tank, 40-55mph everywhere

keep good plugs in your car!

jrocslider · 06-09-2008, 09:50 PM

my dohc has 155k and i use 89 octane and i was getting about 17mpg and thought that sucked but didnt really know what else to do since i had changed everything when i put the motor in when i got the car. i work at o'reilly auto parts and with my discount i got an O2 sensor for like $20. after that i saw it go up to about 24 to 24 average.

turbobrick · 06-09-2008, 09:56 PM

I average around 30mpg around town with my SR. I havent taken it on any road trips so I dont know what it gets on the highway.

BrownDogg · 06-02-2009, 09:25 PM

Sorry for bumping an old thread but... When you guys are getting your mpgs... is that stock or modded?

Im getting about 22-23 city mpg getting on it quite a bit and my car is bone stock. stock exhaust and intake.

Bushido · 06-03-2009, 07:35 AM

380-400 miles per tank, consistently.

stock KA, with a leaky headgasket...

LayNLow · 06-03-2009, 08:17 PM

I get around 25-26 around town and 29-30 on the highway/interstate (hwy/int speed of 80-90ish) using prem. 95 ka with 220K miles with i/e

HPKMotorsports3 · 06-03-2009, 08:40 PM

you need a tune up, bout 3 bottles of injector cleaner and a slap for not thinking of doing this in the first place

amdnivram · 06-03-2009, 08:52 PM

i get 11-12 mpg on the street with some highway mixed in.... did a full tune up and its still the same..... 200 miles a tank...... not sure whats wrong with my sohc besides being a sohc.
