Does anyone have any ideas for my 92 LS because it is eating gas like none other.

Expect around 24 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway if you drive easy.

Drive hard and you will get 25 -30% LESS.

 

[TyraMA]

21 - 24 mpg

I'm getting 21 - 24 in combination city/highway driving with premium gas and averaging 70-75 mph on highway.

 

[jedmund1]

less then 20 mpg, mostly city drive but I drive my car hard

 

[MikeD]

Could anyone tell me: What is MPG ? Only for the stupid German user here. -Mike

 

[mordor110]

MPG = Mile Per Gallon.

BTW= I get about 17MPG driving around town (I drive hard) and about 28-29MPG on a road trip, driving easy cruising at about 80MPH, 6th gear.

MPG = Miles Per Gallon (of gasoline)

pblackguy,
26mixed city/freeway in a 94 coupe 6-speed. 21 city only. Seemed like I got the same mileage out of a 5-speed 91 coupe in all city driving.

MikeD,
MPG is miles per gallon as opposed to Liters per 100km

Expect about 19 MPG in city, and over 25 MPG on hwy if you have auto. Sometimes I baby my car for a whole tank of gas, but in heavy traffic where you are constantly idling and/or stopping and going alot, your MPG will never go over 20. If you have a auto.

 

[morbo]

I have an auto and get 23-26mpg in the city easily, and about 30-32mpg on highway. I don't drive incredibly hard but will pass people if they're not goin fast enough to suit me

Also, don't forget that the A/C affects how your MPG pans out as well. I've also heard that a bad a/c clutch will cause your mileage go decrease, but I'm not sure if that is repuitable....

 

[Brian_020]

How many miles do you guys usaully get out of a full tank of gas?
I get about 280, is this good, bad or normal?

 

[midwestlegend]

I get about 17-19 in the city, but if Im driving hard I only get about 15-17. On the highway (speedway) about 22-25.

 

[morbo]

I used to get about 280-290 in the city before my fuel injectors were replaced-now I get closer to 300-310.... And on my way to Houston I got about 340 to the entire tank (going about 75mph all the way).

 

[SNEEK-E HONDA KA7]

Morbo, you gotta check your math my friend! I can't believe you are get 23-26 in "city". I know of 4 G2 Autos. and none of my friends have topped 20 in city. Oh yeah, I am only doubting the math, but if you are getting 23-26 in city, your doing something right. Here in Seattle, I don't think even a Civic can get better than 23-26 because the traffic is so bad.

Brian, I usually get 280 to the tank also, and then the car takes 14 to 14.5 gallons before top off.

Morbo, you gotta check your math my friend! I can't believe you are get 23-26 in "city".

The way to gett "better" gas milage is to fill up the tank and drive till its almost empty. Note the miles travelled. Now only fill the tank up part way This is the"gallons used"
Divide the miles travelled by the gallons "used" and presto ... you got 35 mpg in the city !

people who get very high mpg have a version of this "filling error " They don't fill the tank as full when they refill as it was when they started their milage test.

 

[SNEEK-E HONDA KA7]

Correct. I go from gas light "on" constantly, reset my odometer, and fill the tank until it stops. Then I drive it until the gas light is "on" constantly again, fill the tank until it stops, and then do the math. My last one was 14.6 gallons for 283 miles travelled. Terrible.

Filling untill it stops does not mean its been filled to the same point. Different pumps stop at different levels. Thats why to get an accurate calculation, you need to calculate MPG over several fillups, to minimize this "filling error"

 

[JimV]

18-20 mpg city, 25-27 highway at 75 mph.

OK, One pump will put in 14.6 gallons, and another will put in 14.5, so what? At 280 miles, my MPG will be 19.17 or 19.31. Not a big deal. If you want accuracy, you would need to install a flowmeter to monitor fuel delivery out of the tank, AND you would need to calibrate your speedometer. Percieved fuel economy can be inaccurate due to tire size, which affects how many miles that show on the odometer, or because someone is not filling the tank the same way and monitoring the fuel consumption.

Legend MPG for the Auto sucks, any way you "measure" it!

lol, true that. i fill up, hit the trip odo. and then filler up again and do the math. usuallly around 18 mixed, but i dont go below 85 on the highway. and i drive the living shiat outta my car. i have gotten like 26 on the freeway goin easy on it.

peace
