For my 1995 Zenki, it's between 620-630 km's per tank (that's before the low gas light warning turns on). Knowing 240's, that's extremely good, probably one of the highest for a 240sx. The main reason I get such good km's is the fact that I only have 186,000 km's on a stock KA24DE engine, and I have a Blitz Nur Spec R Exhaust on my car, which adds about 50 km's per tank. Plus, before I bought the car from the first owners, they did a tune up at the Nissan dealership every 5 months since 1995.

So what do you guys get?

I got a 95 too. Automatic. Get about 400-450 a tank at the most. I've calculated that it gives me about 20-22mpg and I have 170k on mine.

Jagstand is yours manual?

Yes, my S14 is manual. That might also be the reason for the high gas mileage I get.

If you get 400 a tank for a S14, you are not getting 30+ miles per gallon.

i have noticed a big difference in gas millage depending on where i drive in my area. this summer when i went to school i would drive my s13 ka24e manual less than 1 mile to my school and back. on the way there there are lots of stops about like 7 on the way there. its like half a mile down the street and i would only drive from there and back, basically nowhere else and i was getting around 18-20 mpg.

but, if im driving on the freeway or anywhere else but school 45-55 mph zones i will get around the 24-25 mark, and get around 30 on the freeway, i got almost 240 miles on half a tank of gas on a freeway trip, that was down hill and traveling an average of 70 mph, also i do not have a mechanical fan i run electric ones and my tank only holds 15 gallons max, and the other 5.5 gallons(i didn't drive it till the light came on "2 gallon reserve") only took me about 100 miles which was school and back

I've recorded 34.5 mpg both times on my SR20det with bolt ons.Premium fuel, daily driven. That's not all highway, some jerkin' around. I used to be a hypermiler too so I have some good habits.Better than a mini cooper (they run premium tooooo)

i never filled my car up all the way up. the most i would put in would be 20 bucks and i could get around 230 miles.

so a full tank would be about 460ish.
