i was just wondering how many miles you guys get on a full tank of gas. I have a 87 non turbo auto and i think i get pretty crappy miles. sometimes not even 200 miles to a full tank. Most of the time its around 180 miles to a full tank. can you guys tell me what you guys get. thanks..AND i use 76 gas with 91 octane
Miles to a full tank!

When I used to drive all I used to get about 200 a tank. Now driving a a lot more freeway I get over 250
I was getting around 230 to 240 a tank with a 3.73 LSD Modified intake (cone filter with cover) headers.
I replaced the 02 sensor with a new denso I ordered from amazon for around 35 dollars or so, put a 3.91 LSD on the car and with AC I went up to around 290-300 and up to 330 without AC. My AC uses approx 10% more gas but I don't care!!!
Basically I went from around 16 to 19+ and a best of 23 mpg. I suggest replacing your O2 sensor at a minimum, check tire pressure, air filter, oil and a tune up. Also check which diff your running. A ratio like 3.73 is too tall for our NA powerband so I actually got worse mileage and my 0-60 was way less.
I can't find a 4.30 LSD here otherwise Id slap it on and see the mileage results from that and times.
I still need a new set of plug wires to go with my iridiums that Ive used for over a year.

It depends on the type of driving that you do.... For example, on the highway, I get between 350 and 375 per tank, and city driving, I get about 100 miles less (250 to 275)
Basically I get about 19 to 20 mpg city driving and about 26 to 28 mpg on the highway.

I get around 320 per tank and when I fill up I still have about 5 gallons left. So I bet I could make 350 easy; I'm just scared of being stranded x_x
:word8kn: I KNOW I'm not getting that kinda mileage... I put about $40 in it every 5 or 6 days... Full tank FTL...BorHor said:
LOL! u guys get gas taxes HA HA HA /\/\/\
I get about 20 city and 25+ highway
mods, Replacement K/N air filter and a shimmed waste gate.
FYI put your O2 sensor in paint thinner and see if that fixes it before buying one.

I got an 88 NA. Not exactly sure which diff. yet tho but Id be willing to swap it for another just to get better gas mileage. Right now I get like 19mpg average and thats with a lot more city driving than freeway. I still have a lot of tuning up to do also. One of my goals with this car is to make it as efficient as possible.
On a 7mgte with a 4.30 LSD I get like 350 on the highway and around 275 in the city. But thats on a rebuilt motor
hmm well i get 80 miles to £20 petrol. thats pounds sterling btw. and petrol here costs about 98pence per litre so it may aswell be 20 litres gets 80 miles.
oh thats uk litres btw (iirc us litres are different)

I get around 21 to 22 highway, and much lower in town. I do drive a little hard, though....
Edit: CAI, OBX header, full exhaust and test pipe, clutch, DSS steel drive shaft, I have a serious lead foot as well, and would probably get much better mileage if I backed off it a bit.
