Gas Milage??????

[Hamann]

I just got my Z Friday and the only issue I have with it is gas milage. It a 91 N/A 5 speed. I am coming from a 4 banger and i didnt expect 30mpg but i am getting 10-15 daily driving it also seems under powered because my GSR with intake headers and exhaust will take it by a car 0-100

There are all the standard questions. How many miles on the car, is it well maintained, when did you replace, blah blah and yada yada. If you want a solution then you'll have to give some information.

My 92 NA 5-Speed Gas Milage - Last 5 Fillups

17.73 mpg18.78 mpg18.91 mpg18.90 mpg20.14 mpg - Road Trip to MAM9.27 mpg - Track Driving

My 94 TT 5-Speed Gas Milage - Last 5 Fillups

12.78 mpg - Z Club Cruise17.47 mpg18.78 mpg17.16 mpg16.84 mpg

HAHA sorry i just bought it so I dont know what the previous owner did and i am taking it upon myself to change all fluids, belts and exhaust. He has these ****ty fart cans and i know there is an exhaust leak. Could an exhaust leak effect gas milage that much?

Here are my last 5 fillups on my '93 N/A with 155k miles.:

That is all with city and highway driving.

I was thinking the same thing. He must drive very conservatively.

[freakonaleash1187]

I do drive pretty conservatively. I don't like to beat the crap out of my Z until I get out on an actual track.

So I am taking it that N/A and tt get around the same gas milage as long as you dont dog the **** out of your TT??

It's really hard to stay out of boost in the TT. It certainly sucks the fuel down when I'm not just cruising. The best I've ever gotten is 25mpg on a road trip. The last track day I attended in it, it got around 4 mpg. I didn't buy either of these cars to daily drive though, so I really could care less what sort of milage they got. The Civic that I drive every day gets nearly 30mpg. DD's for the win.

I think the NA is actually supposed to get a little better gas milage than the TT in stock form. I don't ever trust EPA figures, but they are a start, I guess. If you're driving like a grandmother (55 on the highway, never accelerating past 3k rpms) you should get the following.

EPA Fuel Economy Information NA Z:

Normal Driving Average - 23.5 mpgEPA City/Highway - 17 / 25 mpgCruise Range - 440 miles (Yeah Right!)

EPA Fuel Economy Information TT Z:

Normal Driving Average - 18.5 mpgEPA City/Highway - 18 / 24 mpgCruise Range - 345 miles (Again, I laugh)
