SOHC DOHC mpg

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Do the DOHC motors really get that much better gas mileage than the SOHC or is it just minimal. I've heard of people getting anywhere from 15mpg all the way up to 30mpg on the KA. What should I expect from my stock well taken care of SOHC. What about a well taken care of DOHC. Also are there any tips on getting better mpg. Btw, can't calculate on my car cause I'm working on it and I don't have my license.

i tihnk dohcs get better milage because most of them are in better condition, if you rebuild the sohc, im sure you will get some good mpg

I have a DOHC(but in a frontier) and i get at least 25. On the freeway its well over 25. Suprises me how much i can drive it and still not have to get gas.

My last tank of gas I averaged 23mpg with a dirty, somewhat clogged fuel filter, and redlining almost everywhere.... With the new filter I'm expecting 25-27mpg... Oh I was also using 91 Premium... 91 is the highest here in Kansas... blah!

best way to find out fill up and let the car runout of gas record the mileage,its about the only way u can get the best results and answers.just make sure to bring a gas can!

[kernan240sx]

Its not a good idea to run out of gas, its not good on your car. The way i record my mileage is fill up and reset mileage, drive it to about a quarter tank, record mileage, then when i get my receipt for my gas divide mileage/gallons it took to fill back up.

I got 28mpg with a tuneup and no mods on the s13 DOHC.

not sure what i get now between the turbo and megasquirt.
