WOW!! 3 tanks a week

[ETalon95]

Im not sure if i need a tune up or if its just my turbo eating up all my gas but in the past 2 weeks i've went through 6 tanks of gas... Is this normal??

how much do you drive?
how many miles per tank?
anything under 200 miles to a tank is horrible, you should be getting upper 200's, I get about 275 miles about, and city driving will kill youre economy

YIKES!

I get about 290 miles to the tank on the hwy, about 210 in the city. How many miles do you get per tank?

 

[ETalon95]

its def city driving i get liek 175-200 gals to a tank...thats liek 18 miles a gallon V-8

It also depends how hard you are on the gas pedal. The way I drive I wouldn't be at all suprised if I got close to 18.

Wow you guys must be constantly beating on your cars... If I drive normally.. I can easily get 300miles on a tank (all city). The most ive got is just over 330miles on a tank. If I beat on it a lot, it drops drastically... 270miles to a tank, even 240 to a tank. Makes a HUGE difference. Not really sure highway driving have never paid much attention or let my gas get that low to get a good reading.

This has got to be the only time I like to have a basically stock car. I drive 96 miles one way to work. Basically I have to fill up every other day averaging 340 per tank.

i get crappy mileage too. i stay at or under 0 boost (per autometer boost gauge) with an occasional spurt of 15psi once in awhile (like 2 times a tank) and i still get at most 160 to a tank. thats in the city. on the highway, i got 240.....anybody have any suggestions on how to get better mpg? oh my air filter is brand new, brand new NGK plugs, new wires, o2 is good, just threw in some injector cleaner (didn't help at all)..... :thumbdown

Umm... I wish I could get at least 180miles to a FULL tank or 93oct doing city driving. You people are complaining when you're getting over 200miles to the tank!!! Must be nice.

Use a logger and see if you're o2 sensors are good. I lost 100 miles per tank when mine went bad.

A boost/vac leak can cause bad gas mileage.
