Hi, I'm just curious at what kind of MPG (miles per gallon) or how many miles you are getting per full tank?

please list mods and type of driving

I'm currently getting around 210-230 miles per full tank, i fill my tank with exactly 11 gallons of 92 octane. thats what 20 bucks buy in hawaii.

right now i have just an intake, 2.5 dp and 3in full piping catback

car is just used for transportation, once in a while i would just sample it a few times.
 
I just sold my GS and got my gsx
my gs got like 40+ mpg now my gsx gets a little bit better than 30, maybe just because i mess around to much :ohdamn:
DAYAM! I have no highway miles and a fair amount of town stop and go, but my last three calculations were 25.0mpg, 26.0mpg, and 26.5 mpg -- the last being the most recent (I've been making mods LOL. I thought that was pretty darned good for a '90 GSX, but apparently not. DAYAM! How do you get those numbers from a turbo car?
 
my '90 Talon TSi FWD completely stock with a 7 bolt from a '93 and I get 28 if I'm easy on the throttle, 22-24 if I'm having some fun LOL. oh and these are in imperial mpg. I can't wait to get my '90 AWD running and find out what it gets :D
 
94 Talon 1.8l Manual - 400 miles per tank, 32 mpg, drive like a granny and coast when possible, full syn oil, maxed tire pressure, 202000 miles on car - bought it used, but I assume from the sticky valves original engine. Love these cars.
 
wow i really wanted to ask this ? this morning and you beat me to it! anybody figure in mpg????? not miles per tank. I get about 29.5 highway @12psi and around 22 in the city..... turn the boost up to about 14-16 psi and only get 22 highway and 19 city. better then all my last awd's wonder if the lightweight flywheels helps out any LOL :D


oh yeah 2g awd manual tranny... stock fuel system
 
I am fwd and e85 and I want to say i get somewhere in the range of 26-28mpg when i'm on the highway NOT beating on it...it only goes down from there LOL
 
I don't care what my DSM gets.

Smiles per gallon with sports cars, not miles per gallon.
 
I get on average 25 city and about 30 hwy. And I do belive the GST have a 12 gal tank and AWD have a 16. I have filled up when I ran out of gas and put in 12.8 I think the .8 is reserve.

o yea all stock @ 12psi
 
97 GST.

FIC 750cc injectors, Walbro 255 fuel pump, Kelford 272 cams

26 mpg/city, 31 mpg/hwy
 
not really sure what im getting as far as mpg's i know it could be a lot better my camber is off including my alignment and i know that it's effecting gas mileage also i have a 180 degree thermostat in my car at the moment that i have been meaning to change to a 195 and im not sure if that's effecting my mpgs too because it has been -5 and colder here in anchorage lately so my car runs a little cold. Does that mean my ecu wont go into learn mode?

A colder thermostat keeps the ecu in warmup mode and it runs richer.
 
Pretty much stock 1995 TSI AWD 5spd, I get about 24mpg combined on average, with 28 mpg being my best on a 300 mile road trip down to Virginia beach. I have a heavy foot, and little patience for terrible drivers.
 
Stock '98 GS. City - 20 avg. and that's beating on it. 38.8 is what I usually get on the highway driving at 75 on average but upwards of 85mph. I can get 340 miles on highway and still have at least 1/8th of a tank left on the gauge.
 
about 25 mpg in the city depending on how I drive it. Still have the stock T25 turbo though for now. I expect it to go down alot when im done with the build.
 
95 eagle talon, fpgreen, 25mpg on the highway...
 
Just me or when you hit that 1/4 tank mark gas seems to last longer. I get about 150out of top 3/4s and another 125-175 on that last quart,put gas when the light turns on and stays on. Used to have an avenger with this same problem I don't know if its just me
