WTK : Gas mileage

[FASTec]

At present I am getting 420K's on a tank of gas ($100). Is there any thing I can do to get more mileage on a tank of gas?

[Groovemaster]

What kind of car?

(Buy a toyota & use redline fuel system cleaner or Prestone fuel injector cleaner with octane boost)

[FASTec]

EK3 civic

[sliderz1]

cold air intake.............btw daz gr8 economy.........

[FASTec]

have a cold air intake

[~Vēġó~]

is that with super or premium? a/c use? type of driving?

I think that economy is pretty good though!!!

I agree with this except the toyota part. I get 520km on $100 super in a QG15.

fastec, assuming u runnin Super, u gettin about 11 kms / liter, which is not bad
however without details on driving conditions, it's hard to advise
My AE111 corolla averages 11 - 12 kms / liter in mixed, mostly traffic driving
On long journeys / highway, I get as much as 13kms / liter, with a smooth, relaxed driving style: no hard acceleration, maintaining 80kph on highways etc
Only 'mod' on the engine is a K&N drop in filter

[wheel whores]

wtf i'm getting 353km for $100 super

[MG Man]

the corolla gave me 560kms from $110 super, including a few highway runs plus a drive from curepe to manzan via princes town
All smooth, relaxed driving....typically gentle acceleration, maintaining around 2,000 rpms

[wheel whores]

80 to 100 on the highway sando to couva morning and evening

[MG Man]

what car u driving?
u might also want to check your tyre pressures..they make a huge difference to mileage

[wheel whores]

b14 with a ga15 no mods

[MG Man]

hmm.....dunno
what tyre pressures u runnin?
I tend to be religious with things like cleaning the air filter, oil changes etc
on a stock engine, every bit adds up
u have all your stone shields in place?

[wheel whores]

hmm.....dunno
what tyre pressures u runnin? 32
I tend to be religious with things like cleaning the air filter, oil changes etc same here
on a stock engine, every bit adds up
u have all your stone shields in place? no some missing

[MG Man]

stone shields help with the aerodynamics, but still............dunno, maybe the corolla more fuel efficient
the MINI is a 1.6 just like the corolla but I typically get 10 km / liter
I might see high 11s if I drive like a real granny......granted I drive with the windows down...
I also run premium in the MINI
my old Mazda B1600 gets 8-9km / liter

[wheel whores]

nah i run ac all the time, plus my wheels real close to the fenders and i lower to the ground that got to count for something

Do you have bigger than stock rims? If you do you may be getting better mileage than you know, and for a ga15 that's terrible.


Daily driver, vrg galant, gdi 620-640km per tank, with ac and running around 110-120km on the h/way and city driving. Damn $4 a litre for premium though

[wheel whores]

something not adding up and i running 17's

[rollingstock]

Use this to calculate your new rolling diameter.

Then calculate the new mileage covered.

u ever verified the odometer reading correct with the new rim / tyre combo?

[FASTec]

I drive with a/c 50% of the times. Also drive hard sometimes but not to regular like between 120 to 160k.

[FASTec]

tire pressure 34 try to maintain this

Nice info there

luckily I sold my galant before the price increase......a couple times I was able to squeeze a tad over 700km from the tank....usually got about that same figure as you.....pretty economical motor when taken care of well.....

Still trying to get that 700km from a tank but that damn galant hates 80km/h on the h/way and the town traffic doesn't help either.

[smr_fingers]

weyyyzz swear i get about 200kms on 100$ super in a b14 mainly stock....penal to ptlisas daily...i drive hard tho cuz im late often but still from wa u all gettin im badly off....anything to help??
