how many miles per tank should i get

[air23cary]

on my 91 talon tsi? i just got the car and so far it is looking like i will get around 210-220 miles on my first full tank. does that seem a little low?

 

[BlackbirdOfPrey]

That sounds about right. I get anywhere between 200-240 (I do a lot of highway driving to and from school) In the city it is anwhere between 200-220.

 

[LaserDad91]

91 Laser RS – 300 – 320 per tank.

Everyday city/highway – 28 – 30 MPG.

Highway – 32+.

 

[Strm Trpr]

I get about 25 mpg...
Mostly highway at say 70 - 80mph

 

[BlackbirdOfPrey]

Wow, there must be something wrong with my car then, the most I've ever gotten was like 246 or something......

 

[Strm Trpr]

You're pretty stock too...
MBC, K&N, boost gauge...
I also have a brand new cat, new Denso 1st & 2nd O2 sensors.
These help with fuel economy....

My thinking on the K&N is that the ECU will want to richen things up a bit.
I think I want to get an SAFC or equivalent so I can see where everything is before I make it breath better.

I get 200-210 miles on my 98 GSX. I know I have an O2 sensor problem. No matter whether it's highway or city driving, I get 16-17 mpgs.

 

[FourG63GST]

I get 160/ tank.

Recirculated BOV, New O2 sensor, new filters. blah blah. all of you whine about it when u get less than 160

 

[Coup D E'Tat]

20MPG with the mods in my profile.

he he i was in the same boat for a while be4 I replaced my o2 sensor. I was getting 13.3MPG

Now I'm getting around 270 miles per tank 21MPG all city stop-and-go driving.

During this season I get anywhere from 20-25 mpg, with 20-22 being mostly local and 25 mpg being almost all highway miles. In the winter last year I got 16 one time, and that was sort of ### . All I have so far is a filter and an exhaust leak though.

 

[paranoidTSi]

I generally get about 240 - 255 to the tank, if not more.

 

[kornydeftones]

wow...my O2 sensor must be my culprit then. I'll see what I do today for miles per tank but Im only at 135 miles w/ 1/4 tank left. This thing is getting worse gas milage than my 88 TA with rebuilt 355.

 

[HokieDSM]

With my Talon, its about 200mi around town, and on the highway, its about 300-350.

 

[Strm Trpr]

Those are excellent numbers on the highway for your mod list...
City, that's to be expected. It's almost impossible to get good fuel mileage in the city with these cars.
I can get off of the freeway with a 1/4 tank, drive another 15 miles and only have like an 1/8 left.
Keep'em Spoolin....

 

[Jafro]

I get 190 per tank on 93 octane with mostly city miles.

Pretty sad.

I got the same mileage with this car when I was making 210chp as I do now at around 400chp. I need DSMlink pretty badly.

It does better on the highway, but I've had drag radials on all 4 for more than 10,000 miles, so I haven't really taken any road trips with it. ???

 

[temfate]

I get 280-320 based on all city, or mixed with highway...

 

[Daem0n]

For a few days the upper intercooler pipe pretty much disconnected itself from the throttle body elbow without me noticing. I think then I got 140/tank.

Now that I switched to hard pipes I get 160/tank.

Time for an o2 change.

 

[Bad93ex]

I am at about 3/8 of a tank and only have put about 85 miles on.

I dont drive my car very far but I have to because the distance that I need to cover is short but not short enough for walking.

I think my o2 sensor is probably bad too.

 

[hystericfox]

i usually fill mine at 270-340. i average 28 mpg combined city and highway. im not on it all the time though, that might have something to do with it. i dont know how much fuel is left when the gas light comes on, but it comes on once every couple of months. i managed 29 mpg one time, i drove an hour and a half at 80 to an autocross, ran it at the event (lots of idling after runs) then another hour and a half home at 80 or so. i still think i screwed up the math....

 

[2gGSX]

The fuel gauge is undoubtedly wrong, I believe due to a wiring problem or something along those lines. 2Gs are supposed to have something like a 15.2 gallon gas tank, whereas I end up getting 10 gallons every time I fill up. As for miles per gallon, 28 mpg combined is pretty freaking impressive.

 

[HyperGSX]

I always get somewhere in the 220-235 range, and about 20-21 mpg. I know i could get more if i drove a little slower at times, but hey you got to have fun also.

 

[DJ_2Soxx]

hmm...im not sure what the conversion is, i thought 1 mile = 1.6 km rite? because i am getting 650 kms on one tank, mods are only exhaust, k&n, thats it....

 

[CowPimp]

20MPG with the mods in my profile.

That's what I get in the city. On the highway I get about 26MPG. However, we both have AWD cars, and the person in question has a FWD car. This makes a significant difference in gas mileage. I get about 250-320 miles per tank depending on how much highway/city driving I do. Of course, it also depends on exactly what point I fill up the tank.

 

[LaserDad91]

i dont know how much fuel is left when the gas light comes on, but it comes on once every couple of months. ....

For my 91 Laser RS, I think, 2 gal.
