We don't have 95, 98, or 100 octane here in the states... at least, not that I have seen

Yes, agrreed, i have not seen that high of an octane reading around my area. maybe the higher octane ratings have something to do with europe's higher fuel prices. but that's just my lucky guess

 

[Ðawg]

I dunno dude, we're paying $2.34 here in Seattle for 92...


that's pretty high

I miss the good ol days of $.99/gal reg unleaded.

*Why only 15mpg!!
Well I get 15mpg and the very best of only 20mpg, which is not good as I'm in the UK and get ripped for £4.50 ($6.50) per gallon, will my new 255 Walbro which is on order from Extreme PSi make it worse or better???*

And this guy is from Europe. I don't know......

 

[scuRRed whiTey]

i got a 92 laser...pretty mint condition...pretty stock...

i fille it up to where i cant go anymore....true full tank
and from way below the E sign its filled up to 13.8 gallons


and out of that whole tank...i took it real easy and got 310 miles out of it
i barely spooled the turbo the whole 3 and a half weeks it lasted

usuall driving, i get like 250 at the most

 

[phalanx]

Holy sh*t $6.50 per gallon!? Gas prices around here just went up to around $1.80 for premium and I'm pissed off. F_CK $6.50 to fill a empty tank is like my entire paycheck. I can't believe most Brits were against the war, oh we are thier stealing oil 6.50 a gallon? Hell yeah steal the damn oil!!

Oh and Im getting about 16mpg although I have an extremely heavy foot....always boostin and doing about 85mph on the parkway.

 

[Ðawg]

<--- Has a heavy foot too...


But isnt that why I bought this car? If I wanted an econo-box, I would have bought a Metro or a Honduh.

GAS PRICE HERE 1,10 (95 Octane,98 is about 1,14,100 Octane is 1,20)Euro per Litre,so 3,7 Litres make one US Gallon
work that out in Dollars and thats about 4 to 5 dollars a Gallon

and get this,the Environment tax is about 75 cents from that 1,10.

but whats even more disgusting is,we pay Environment tax on every Litre o gas,then we paz the 16 percent sales tax on it too! thats like Fraud on the Governments behalf...

but i love driving,so,it doesnt bother me that much..yet..

 

[Raph]

jup,its prettz expensive,i thought is was due to the high octane ratings(my eclipse handbook sazs using 91 octane is not recommended and maz cause excessive engine knocking...)

but its due to the higher taxes here in germany..and that sucks!

 

[Satori]

I avg. between 22 and 25 mpg. Depends on how much I beat on it and how much I use the A/C.

 

[Dan1997GST]

i get around 18-20mpg usually on 93 octane gas....i think the only place u can get higher around my area is at the track and i am already paying $1.60-1.90 a gallon for my 93 octane now....

[NAT01]

what stations sell the higher octane here in the states(93/94)???

 

[c5chris]

My 98 GSX is always been a gas hog. When it was brand new, it usually gave me around 19-20mpg. Now that I ha installed a Greddy Type-S BOV, it usually runs at 16-17mpg.

I probably need to install a S-AFC to lean out the a/f ratio a bit. 200 miles a tank does not seem right for a sport compact.

 

[brad_kauz]

Ok I dunno what the deal is I used to only get about 29 mpg(highway) and 16 mpg (town). Well I moved away from home(about 120 miles) well i go home every weekend and i checked my mpg the last two weeks and I am getting about 46.9 mpg on the highway going home and thats doing 65-70 the wole way. My in town millage is still bout the same. Any one else get this good a gas millage on a regular baisus?

 

[EclpzLvr97]

anyone know by chance what a basically stock '97 n/t eclipse should get per tank and gallon in city and highway?

 

[Oliver]

Usually 28mpg driving normally! (Lots of Highway)
Using and Abusing of my car = 25mpg
Not so bad...
I use 91 octane Gas.

 

[My1gSleeper]

I usually always get above 300miles on my 91 laser turbo to the tank, usually filling up about 13.7 - 14 gallons. I have gone above 400 miles on a trip. Always using 93 octoane.

 

[DaveDSM]

i just got 333 miles out of 11.2 gallons of 93 octane highway driving w/o cruise control on in my 1990 awd. I was a bit shocked..then very proud of the 163k mile motor

 

[b17tuner]

17.4 is what my calculator just said, I think its 18 city, 21 on the highway.

Anyone explain how to check mpg accurately?

 

[force inducted]

nato 1 it depends on where u live some states only get 91 octane like cali i live in michigan an i get 94 at sunoco 93 everywhere else

 

[2GeNTSi]

Seems kind of a lot but the best I got was like 285, highest rpm reached about 5k, I usually shift at about 2-3k and about 1/4-1/2 throttle. When I had 285 miles on the tripometer, the needle was a little bit above empty line. I read somewhere that the empty light is just warning you that you have about two gallons left which is good for about another 40+/-. My drive everyday is mainly highway with about five stoplights, a few traffic jams a week due to construction. So if I was to drive till my car died I would prob get about 330-340, stock except for a cone filter and homemade oil catch can.

holy crap that was a long time ago...I've managed to get with a full tank 363 miles, and that was without even seeing the light pop up once. I was probably good for another 40 miles. That was with everything in my mod-list minus downpipe, fuel pump, mbc.

 

[brownie956]

Summer I was getting 29-33 depending on how much city driving. Winter is usually 27-28. 92 octane.

 

[dsmBear]

i get like 15 becaus ive never tuned my car but have a lot of bolt ons

 

[northernawd]

Depends on if I behave or not and stay under boost, I can do about 320km a tank. Best I've ever got at 420km
