okay...i got a

5spd. and i shift at 3000 rpm.

and still...my gas mileage is 300 miles from full to the point where the orange gas warning comes up.

how about you all's? tell either ss or 5spd. and tell me the gas mileage.

i think something is wrong?

I am sure I have read this post once, twice or maybe ten times before?

My fuel LED usually comes on at about 290 miles.

I calculated my MPG during the winter over 3000 miles, and it worked out as 26 MPG. I am in the process of calculating it again as the weather is now warmer.

I usually shift at about 2500 RPM.

37.875 mpg on highway ... about 26 mpg overall (half highway, half city). I usually get about 330 miles in before the light comes on.

do a SEARCH on it people always talk about it by the way i get about 360 to the tank with about 1/2-1 gallon left

Mugenlude · 08-01-2002, 03:31 PM

If you get to 300 miles when the low fuel light turns on then you getting good mileage.

doe · 08-01-2002, 03:34 PM

yesterday I filled up 12.8 gallons on 295 miles, ~23 mpg

T-Bohn · 08-01-2002, 09:22 PM

350- 360 normal...sometimes I'll get 400 or so yes I do hit the vtec often 108k miles mobil one ....TOP that : p

not much highway either ...

JDM H22A4 · 08-02-2002, 01:36 PM

yeah i occasionally hit 400 miles with some gas left but then i also heard its not good to try to suck up all the gas when theres not that much left. i ran my car to the point where i would make turns and the gas would shift to the other side of the tank and once i finished the turn my car almost shut down cause it wasnt getting any gas in

TranceAZN · 08-02-2002, 01:43 PM

It also depends what mods do you have. I get right around 280-290. 60% highway 40% city.

supasloracer · 08-02-2002, 02:00 PM

OcPreluder44 · 08-02-2002, 03:32 PM

i get like around 340 or 349 full tank till empty.... i shift at 4000 rpm but then i let my car run at 1700 rpm at a constant pace...<<<<saves gas.... n i think the AEM CAI saves me gas too

OcPreluder44 · 08-02-2002, 03:32 PM
