95 Hardbody KA24e, good highway gas mileage, crappy city mileage?

Post by **240guyNY** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 8:25 am

Hey, i have a 95 hardbody, 2x4, automatic with ka24. I've only been driving it for a few months so im not sure what kind of mileage it used to get. I do, however, know that it gets average highway mileage, but when it comes to regular driving, it get terrible mileage. I live in central Long Island so it's not exactly city driving, but i do deal with a good amount of lights, etc. The air filter is clean, the fuel filter is new, and I just recently put fuel injector cleaner in it. The plugs didn't look to bad, although I am going to change them soon anyway. Any ideas on what could be causing this would be very much appreciated.Thankssean

i havent really measured exactly since i do alot of both, highway and "city", but i can say that my trip to school, i use about 1/2-2/3 as much gas if i take the parkway rather than, um roads with lights and light traffic. Do you know their stock gas numbers?thankssean

Around 12 to 14 in town. very well tuned engine might squeeze as much as 16 or 17 out of it.

wow 12-14 sucks pretty bad, why does it get so much worse than a 240, gearing or something?

Are you on the dessert runner frame? [4x4 chassis]

Yea I understand that. But there are 2 different chassis for the 2wd truck.There is the lower chassis and then the 4x4 chassis with out a front diff or transfer case.
