more than a ka but you have to run premium which does not matter any way since the ka wants the premium stuff anyway....

When I was running a full stock SR with just a FMIC and a fuel pump, I pulled 36 mpg over 400 miles. Now that I have aluminum flywheel and driveshaft as well as a few other bolt ons and higher boost, my milage varies greatly. To and from work on the freeway I see about 28 mpg on average. Cruising around at 55mph on trips I see around 30 mpg. Ripping around town I get 22 to 25. After a full day of autocrossing I achieved my worst mileage ever, 16 mpg over 40 miles.

Run tank almost empty... put in 10 gallons and reset trip odometer...drive eazy untill empty again... if trip odometer states 200 miles than 20 MPG's: 300 miles= 30 mpg's : 350 miles= 35 mpg's : 100 miles= 10 mpg's simple! Divide miles driven by 10 gallons= your mpg's

How do you know when you are completely empty, S chassis cars drive forever on E. Its much easier to just reset when you fill up, then when you fill next divide the miles you drove by the number of gallons you just put in.

and dont forget that the size of your wheels, and suspension mods can play a role in this as well.

I get about 25 around town with a little highway, and a little over 30mpg on the freeway, but keep in mind I have heavy *** 350z touring 18`s, and I drive 70-80 on the freeway.

City: 26mpg Highway: 31-33mpg Tires: 7 spoke SEs w/ 205/15/60s Final Drive: Stock 4.08:1

The car now sits on 5zigen 17x9 FNs w/ 245/45/17s with an R32 R200V final drive 4.36:1, so once I decide its ready to see the light of day I'm sure I'll see some reduced fuel economy.

Keep in mind that people's driving styles and setups differ, so what someone else is getting might be completely different from what you're seeing.

This converts to:

Fuel Economy 10 Mode Fuel Economy 23.52mpg, 37.28mph Fuel Economy 43.05mpg (SR20DET).

I meant close to empty so you could make it to the gas station! Inflate tire pressure for less rolling Resistance, tune up's and weight reduction all help gas millage!

It's really not too bad unless you're on the boost every chance you get.

I'm pretty much WOT 50% of the time, and hitting boost 95% of the time. I get like 200 - 250 a tank lol, so thats maybe 15 - 20 mpg
