Gas Mileage Poll

[rsmithdrift]

Alright. I've always been courious as to what the norm is for gas mileage among our 240's. I searched and didn't see any polls so I thought I'd start one. This is for average mpg, not all highway, or all city.

SR, KA, CA, DE, E, T, TT, Super, LS1, Whatever, just post if it's not a KA.

Mine gets 27

[0wn3r]

probably about 17mpg city, 28+ highway

says something about my driving habits albeit lol. so i just kinda averaged em.

[Jesda]

VH. I get 14/18.

[lrb_2000]

KA24DE.. about 27 in town, 33 highway... 90% is in town though.

[GrilledCheese33]

I average about 25-27 in town i guess, sometimes i've gotten worse (about 19 once) and other times i've gotten better (31 mpg is my record for city driving)

[0wn3r]

^ ...man, you 2 must drive like gramma's.

[Alfador]

I can make that car put out like 27-28 in town. On the highway I can make it do better. My actual driving habits depend though. I think I've gona as low as 15 or so when I'm driving for fun.

[Felipe]

it took me $42.23 to fill up the mother ship!!!

^ ...man, you 2 must drive like gramma's.

I drove like my gramma to acheive 31 in the city, but i get like 26 giving it half throttle and shifting over 3K every shift..... which makes for nice driving and not being gramma. I got 19 flooring it and winding it out all the time tho....

[OriginalWheelman]

I get 27 suburb, 42 highway. I commute to college 27 miles each way so I have the safc II set up to correct negative and lean it out. I still out run most 4cyls, and I blow solid BAM flames now instead of the wafting 3 footers i used to blow :-D. Oh btw I'm running a KA24E, rb20 injectors and fpr, injen intake, custom catless exhaust and the SAFC II. Other than that bone stock.

[glitched]

im still surprised what kinda milage i get... last time i checked my commute mileage i got 27.9 (and I open up the throttle at least once every day) hwy mileage is about 32

[2kul]

[asher4857]

A good tune-up usually helps.

[rsmithdrift]

Yeah, I'm actually surprised at this. I was expecting to see 22-24 being the most common.

I have a short ram intake, hi flow cat, elect. fan, and NGK plugs + wires and that's it. It's had a full tune up too. 02 sensor, CTS, fuel filter, cap + rotor and plugs + wire of course.

I get 30 driving highway only and 25 driving agressivly city only and 27 mixed with me driving normall. If I'm drifting alot or driving hard I get 26.

[xero1]

28 mpg on my s13 sr20det. normal driving is 65 miles a day 85% highway

[anumeric]

I get round 350-370 miles per full tank whatever that is. All intown driving about 100 miles or so a day on my ca18det. Normal driving with shifts at or around 3k as well.

[rsmithdrift]

Bump......just knocking it back up top for all to see.

[574-240sx]

With the SR I get about 28ish on the highway and I'm lucky to get 20 in the city.

[eds13]

it really depends on how hard i beat on it... my dad drove it down to SC and got about 30mpg normally around town i get 25mpg

[RB20DETodd]

Since everyone is posting gas mileage they wish they could get i wish i could get around 30, but sadly i get about 20

[240Extremist]

My car gets about 20-21 in the city and about 28-29 on the highway and I have the original KA24DE in mine.

Yes and that they need to be shot! haha i dont know how you guys get such good gas mileage, when i had the ka turd in best i could do was 25.

maybe someone just had a busted KA

between school trips i usually always calculate it... i dont think i've ever gotten below 27 on the trip. and i dont drive 65mph or whatever the 'recommended effecient' mph # is.

it did throw a rod out of the oil pan and cracked the pot metal block in half.

[BobWithBoobs]

the new engine with 155k miles i just clocked it at 21.4 MPG in town\highway shifting eazy but had sum fun sumtimes.

[C - ROD]

i was getting like 14- 18 city/highway, then i changed my MAF now i get like 19-25 city/highway

[UncleBen]

I just figured mine up today when I filled up and it was 29.3mpg on a stock KA in my s14. I was freaking amazed, I guess this motor loves the 93 octane.
