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.
 
With 780cc injectors I get about 280-300 miles per tank.

It ends up about 24-28mpg depending on how I drive. I have the deadtime and global settings on DSMLink spot on though.

All emissions removed incuding EGR

I get 23mpg while driving around town racing at will pretty often, and 26-28 on the interstate cruise set at 85-90.


I have a keydiver chip on its way hopefully that will increase my gas mileage a little more
 
1680cc injectors, T67 turbo, 272s and headwork, I'm getting a bit over 30mpg per tank. Not sure how that breaks down between highway and city, but I get around 250 miles per tank :)

Umm if you are getting 250 miles per tank (a whole tank?) that is about 15 MPG, not 30!
 
right now im geting 22 mpg. and my check engine light is on too. so i ran a datalogger on it and found out that its my coolant temp. sensor. i'll have to esplain this one to you.

the coolant temp. sensor (AKA)cts... senses how hot your engine is and decides on when to start running the coolant through your engine. my cts was broke and was making my car think that i was running hot all the time, killing my mpg by sending coolant and other fluids that where not needed including gas. any way i fixed it. luckily it wasnt expensive at all. now im running 29 mpg on pump gas.
 
I have a 94 eclipse with the dinky 1.8l in it, but the gas mileage is sweet around 34.9mpg, and about 420 per tank.
 
I just want to clear up some misinformation, the CTS in no way controls when and where coolant goes inside an engine. That is controlled by the thermostat. 99% of the time when at CTS goes bad it reads at a temp of -40*F and when an automotive computer reads that the engine is cold it tells the injectors to dump fuel. So even if the car is up to running temp, the computer thinks it frozen solid, in turn running rich at all driving conditions.

If I recall correctly, I got about 510 miles on a tank one time during a road trip in my 1.8. In the GS-T, I can get about 250miles on half a tank, all highway driving.
 
I get 29 MPG going 70 in my 93 talon AWD. It has a ported head, E316G, 3" exhaust, MAFT.

For allof you who get XXX miles on half a tank. it isnt valid. If you drive till the guage shows exactly half a tank it will take more than the 8.XX gallons to fill it.

The only reliable way is to fill the tank, drive it, fill it again and then divide gallons used by miles on the trip odometer.
 
I get a lowsy freakin 14mpg. Why? I dont hhave a freakin clue. I used to get better. I dont ahve an O2. Its fried. Always has been. I used to get atleast like 20-24mpg but not now. I dont have a freakin clue why either. It sucks.
 
Here's my sob story:
1G 92 Talon TSi AWD
K&N filter
Free mods and that's all so far.


179.4 Miles to 11.3 gallons. That's about 15.9 MPG and at this point, I NEED to fix this problem. Besides some idle surge problems, the car runs great. I don't romp on it, I cruize the freeway at ~75 MPH (usually with cruise control on). I drive for a living, and this "180 miles to the tank" thing is bull$hit. I haven't checked my O2 sensor yet, but I don't know if it's bad. I'm getting a PocketLogger setup here in a few days (weeks?) so maybe that will shed some light on the problem.

Any advice in the mean time?
 
What are you guys running the 2.4 getting? My engine will be in, in the next couple weeks and kinda want to get a heads up so I'm not too shocked.
