Need Better mileage....

[zTheStig]

I tried to search for this but really couldn't find anything maybe i searched it wrong but, i've been getting worse mileage when i dd my car to work. Before i get about 24-26miles per gallon on highways now im just making 20miles and dropping. I do my oil change every 3000 miles it seems to help a little bit but drops again soon after. Is there something i should change out to obtain better mileage? thanks.

I usually get around 300 miles on a full tank of straight street driving. I don't know what the normal is tho.

300 is dam good. i wish i could get that. i get like 220 or so. i have replaced 02 sensor, fuel filter and now spark plugs. What grade gas do yall run? i have been running 87. would i get better millage if i ran 93? To the op, try changing your o2 and spark plugs.

That should be about right.

I get 25 mpg with mix hwy and city driving. Good maintain (aka oil changes i use Castrol 0w30), shifting semi earlier but I do like have some fun, tune ups, better grounds and good tire psi.

I get about 400 per tank mixed city and freeway with at least half of those miles being city driven

I say check your compression if you already did all the basics of a tuneup. and make sure you put it in 5th lol i don't know how you can get that low mpg without just cruising in 3rd at like 6k rpms or something

pour a bottle of injector cleaner in your tank and do a full tune up...

[guitaraholic]

I usually get around 400 per tank as well, Infact the last fill up I got 27.5mpg combined half city/highway.

[Silverbullet]

driving habits play a huge role. I can get pretty close to about 28mpg on good weeks with a KA S14.

[Bigsyke]

get it tuned? how the fuck do you do that?

HOLY 400? CHEAT CODES!! but seriously is that possible 400 a tank? I don't drive very aggressive, i shift at 2500 max at 3000 daily. I had to run some errands the other day with full tank and went to work the next day and half my tank was gone i had to fill up every 3 days.

Hitting 350 isn't hard at all for me with just city driving. Are you guys driving it even when the low gas light comes up cause I usually have 50 or so more miles when it comes up. Also do you know for a fact you are topping off the gas tank as well not just when the auto shutoff hits cause sometimes it does it early?

i ono i think my gas light might be broken it never comes on i never pushed it to the point past E cuz i work really far away not taking any chances

350 isn't hard for me either. In Fact, I even get 350 when I'm "boosting" around town at 15psi...lol,, yeah,, getting to 0-speed limit in a hurry. I agree with HPK, put some injector cleaner on it. Everytime I put some type of fuel treatment in the tank I get at least 1-2mpg (gods honest truth). I've also recently cleaned my MAF and throttle-body. You especiallly have to clean your maf if you have an oiled air cleaner.
