264.6 Miles on a tank of gas
 
ok, I think I must be running lean as hell. I just got 264.6 miles on a tank of gass. The fill up was 13.8 gallons. I usually average about 215 miles per tank. I don't know if it is because of the turbo or just the tune but daaamn. I hope it stays like that. lol

You know it's kinda funny when you get excited about 19 MPG .... but I do too.. lol

I8U 03-21-2009 09:48 PM

I average 285-310 per tank on the highway...but I'm N/A.

Umm, you need to know if you are running lean or not, hope you have a wideband o2 or an OBD2 reader to read the stock 02 sensor. Lean at a cruise is one thing but with FI if you are lean 13+ afr under boost, you wont be very heppy for very long.

Oh, a properly tunned turbo should not effect MPG (+ or -) very much if the vehicle is driven the same as before FI..

Most i've gotten was 300. But I drive almost everywhere in 6th...

Chavy 03-23-2009 09:42 PM

hmm i only get about 220...

Easy_E1 03-23-2009 10:45 PM

Just keep your foot out of it and it should get good mileage. I just got 75 out of a quarter tank yesterday.

shazy 03-23-2009 10:58 PM

My last tank was 257miles and I was running on the fuel warning light for 14miles. Then when I filled up, it said that it was 52 litres, isn't our gas tank 60 litres or something? Well atleast I got 20mpg 50/50 city highway.

I just got my new engine broke-in and I am very excited! I just got 245 miles out of this tank, it was 185 on the old engine!

I know the AP tuned helps alot. Also properly flowing and atomizing fuel injectors do to.

Phil's 8 04-05-2009 06:53 PM

Since the rebuild and tune, I have taken three trip now to test the gas mileage. I am getting 220 miles to a tank of premix on the highway. I am actually very happy. Now if MM could do something with my foot in town:)

shazy 04-05-2009 10:28 PM

Im on premix and I did 50/50 city/highway driving... I wonder what I'll get if it's pure highway.

j0eStER 04-21-2009 05:54 PM

ok wtf.. i get about 180 max before my gas light turns on.. and I dont even drive rough....

Razz1 04-21-2009 06:00 PM

Clean the MAF and wait for the summer gas formula to show up at the pump

Z0oMzo0m 04-21-2009 06:06 PM

damn i drive highway everyday, and i get about 70 miles on first 1/4 but it slowly drops after that.

1st 1/4 70miles
2nd 1/4 i can push 150miles
3rd 1/4 180 to 190 miles
4th 1/4 sittin around 210 before i fill up and put in maybe 12 to 13 gallons

cjkim 04-21-2009 06:16 PM

95% highway, i've gotten something like 324 and put in about 14 gallons.
rarely go 95% highway though

I've also done like 150 miles on a tank.. goes to show a lot of the differences in mpg is driving style

Z0oMzo0m 04-21-2009 08:22 PM

yeah i seem to average just shy of 200 on most of my driving... and again most is highway unitl weekends come. then i DRIVE the car but still seem to become short of 200. Hopefully my a.p tune wil help. i know im running very rich with mods i have. well at least by the smell and flames of the car..

zoom44 04-21-2009 08:28 PM

how do you like the turbo? i didnt realize you had the BHR/MM turbo. any dyno #s? i really want to know how a turbo a/t does.

Ti Carbon 04-24-2009 10:07 PM

I get 260 out of a full tank if i drive like a good little boy. An Im FI and i premix, but i have no cat.

4motionTT 04-29-2009 02:24 PM

I would only get 160 when i first got my car, then i cleaned the maf and i got 200 average (190-210) and now my car only gets about 170 after i put new coils wires plugs and air filter?? regardless the mpg on these cars suuuucks for how much power they make.
