How meny miles

[Charlie240sxt]

So, I just got back from a road trip. Did about 200 miles highway and now the trip odomter is at 380 and still no gas light. Just was wondering What kind of miles you guys see to a tank of gas?? I run 93 oct in my 95 and at 380 will post miles at fill up

[Blackstar]

I also use 93 octan and have gotten almost 400 out of my tank before my light came on, but thats 100% highway miles without stopping. Our tank size is 15 1/2 gal. so thats about 27 miles to the gallon which is about right if you're cars in good shape and tuned correctly

[ace135cc]

i get in the 300s and fill up, the light never comes on, but it gets down there, it usually gets just before the empty line and i fill it, and it only fills 11gallons, so its either messed up, or theres alot more gas in the tank when its at the bottom....

[Blackstar]

yea my needle will sit at the bottom for a really long time before the light comes on and when it does, I usually fill up 13 gallons, so theres like a 2 gallon reserve when your light comes on

[Charlie240sxt]

Really they damn 240sx get some miles on a tank. Anybody with a SR or CA of KAT on here what kind of miles do you guys see to a tank

Still no fill up at 390 half highway half city and a little redline actshon in ther too

[Rockenreno]

according to my FSM I have a 17.2 gallon tank. I run 89 octane in my 1996 240sx and usually fill up 12-13 gallons every 350 miles. My gas light has never come on. I'm actually at 1/4 tank right now with 320 miles, its nuts.

[corn322]

I put $10 of gas in at a time. which used to get me 7.5 gallons. I'd get around 110 miles off that, 120 if I was lucky.

[Charlie240sxt]

Crazy 419.7 miles all i had the balls to do filled up on 93 oct with 16.9 gallens crazy **** didnt think it had that kind of miles to a tank and oh yea I raced this GT stang on the way home like a 95 or so and hung with him from a 40 mile roll to 95 he got as far as his back bumper if that Crazy didnt know my car would hold with a GT ok well keep the miles coming want to know what it like every wher else oh yea it been about 100f all week

[tex240]

do s14s have gas lights i have never seen it. i dont usually let it get that low?

[Charlie240sxt]

yea its on the right side in the coner

[SHIFTrl240]

someone should go and pull a kramer

[Charlie240sxt]

LOL I tried but ran out of balls but if the FSM right I only had .3 left when I filled up so what that probly 15 miles probly less so i couldnt of pushed it much more

[SHIFTrl240]

i think im going to get one of those 1 gal gas containers and fill it up, then go do that. i put the gallon in there after so i can get home

[Rockenreno]

thats a good idea

[Charlie240sxt]

I might one day but waching that damn gas gage go down bellow the E is wired I men mine got really far down ther

[groundhogday1976]

I usually get 400+ out of every tank w/ about 70% highway miles. My mileage goes between 28-32 mpg depending on how heavy my foot is. Mileage sucked back in the winter because I'd let it idle for 15 minutes every morning; still better than getting in the car when it's 15 degrees in there.

[Get240DiZzY]

My mileage is sucking hardcore, because my car is running uber rich. I fill up with 1/4 left in the tank, and I only got 170 miles on the last tank.

[groundhogday1976]

170 miles?! How long has it been since your car had a tune up?

[Get240DiZzY]

I'm guessing awile. I bought it about a year ago, and the guy said it'd had routine maintenance done, but I'm not so sure. I'm hoping fixing the timing chain will help.

[sixxdeuce]

I get around 320-350 out of 12.5 gallons. I let it get right on the E usually. So if its a 17 gallon tank i have over 4 gallons left when it says empty? Thats weird, I never knew it was supposed to hold 17 gallons. Maybe mine is mis calibrated or something because the gauge drops way faster after the half way mark.

I don't know about the timing chain helping your mileage. I've improved my mileage by 8-10 mpg by putting on new wires, O2 sensor, plugs, and filters. I'm gonna do the dist. cap and rotor soon. I'll probably get a little more mileage if I ever find a replacement transmission (damn countershaft bearings!). Even if the guy said the routine maintenance has been done, replace that stuff anyway. Think about it like this: I spent less than $100, plus my own time, and I'm getting 130-160 extra miles per tank. With 93 octane between $1.85 and $1.89 here this weekend I'm saving over $20 per thousand miles. The parts have paid for themselves in less than 5K miles.
