Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm just curious to see what everyone gets for miles per gallon, post what car, engine, year and whatever else is useful so we can compare..

 

I drive a 92 cutlass supreme convertible with the 3.1 and i am only getting about 12 miles per gallon on a stock motor and i have no idea why so low.

yeah i know, i have no idea though, the whole fuel system is replaced except for the fual filter cuz i cant brake it lose.. you think that the fuel filter could cause that much of a mpg loss?

i get 15 average. Has a slight miss and runs poor, needs an 02 sensor. coilpacks, tps and map sensors. Ya, it needs a tune up. :confused:

'94 3100. I get about 26mpg around town. I havent took it for a trip on the highway in years so I couldnt tell you that.

Yes! Esecially if it is the stock fuel filter. FYI a bad fuel filter (clogged) can cause bad MPG and even break your fuel pump. You need to buy some PB Blaster and hit those connectors with that shit like 3 times a day for 2 weeks.. if you still can't break it loose than splice in a new line.

 

Either way get that bitch fixed immediatly. I garuntee you will notice a HUGE diffrence with a new fuel filter... and I am talking perfomrance too.

I had mine up to 27mpg but it dropped to 20. I think I need an icm or coil.

sparkplugs?

wires?

airfilter?

oxygen sensor?

In my TGP I always get 21-22 city, and 36-41 highway, depending on how warm out or windy it is, and NO I AM NOT JOKING!!!

About 24 around town. Then again, I've been driving around (ok, reving about 3k...lol) fairly hard lately so maybe it could get more.

 

Over 30 on the highway.

I get about 16-18 city and about 22-23 on the highway

93 Olds Ragtop 3.4 150K miles

Consistent 22 mpg, 80% Hi-way driving.

 

MPG will drop around this time of year due to the fall/winter gas formulation changes.

Before I put on the Eagle 192's, the Regal averaged 24-26 in mixed driving (in the summer with the AC on, no less.) I averaged 21-22 this summer with the 192's on (could also be due to the fact that the Regal's in dire need of a wheel alignment.)

 

My wife averages 31 in the Impy on her 37 mile commute to work (all highway.) On our roadtrip to Vegas, the Impy did slightly better, the best number we recorded was 33 MPG. We were averaging somewhere between 450 and 480 miles per tank of gas...

I'll check mine in the next week with stock rims if im driving the car long enough

Posted

You can't splice in a fuel line.
