Thread: MPG??? B chassis

I was wrong about the UEGO, manual says:


The LC-1 says:

I calculated 33.65 mpg pretty much all highway driving on my NX hardtop. I had a few high rpm accelerations as well as driving mostly 75-80 mph ( good ol georgia speed limit).

I think if I drove mostly 55-65 mph my mpg would improve to the 35 mpg range.

I would say your MPG would be higher going even 70mph. I got about 29 mpg going 75mph and 34mpg going 70mph.

My last tank gave me 225 or 235 miles to the tank.. Looks like about a 24mpg since i filled up with 9.5 gallons or so.

I'm doing new spark plug wires and spark plugs.. Hopefully this will increase my MPG.. Changed my Fuel Filter when i had my DE motor with was about probably 3k miles ago..

Well I drove slower and I got 40.72 mpg out of my egg. Freaking awesome!!! I drove 86 miles from Anderson County South Carolina to Gwinnett County Georgia. Elevation is higher in Georgia so I'm thinking I was going uphill during the trip. I topped off the tank with 2.112 gallons . I maintained my speed in the 60's during the trip. Tires on the car are Falken Ziex 512 in 185/60/14

I think I could do even better if I optimized the car for more mpg. Such as adding more air pressure to my tires, fixing my side skirts as my drivers side is off, driving with my windows closed, fixing my cruise control, and driving even slower.

When I first got my B13 I drove it about 90 highway miles and filled it up... Got a little over 30mpg... After that I started filling up once it starts getting towards empty and averaged 24... 30 is with flooring it on and off the whole way too.. I think that when we put gas sooner, it gives us better MPG's

oh.. and those tires suck

Well I started trying something new and have been getting better mpg's from it.. On a tank that was usually a 24mpg tank (driving 75-90 the whole way, constantly changing speeds) I got 27.4mpg... I started filling up @ 200 miles into the tank. That's 3 mpg better, which has proven true for the past 2 tanks. A little over 28 mpg last tank

yeah the sweet spot on the B13 sr20 motor is around 70 mph and not much more. When I go 80-90 regularly my MPG goes down to 27-28ish when I drive the speed limit it goes to 30-32ish.

i need to do some 02 fixing..then ill go on a nice highway trip and see what she gets me..

..mid 40s anyone?

I'm getting around 250-260 miles Per tank city driving. A rarely go on the highway anymore.
