Gas Mileage...........ok this is starting to drive me nuts. Josh set my timing for me and I just did a full tune up. (distrib. cap, rotor, ngk blue wires, bosch plat. plugs) I only got like 240 miles on a full tank of gas. What could be causing me to get this bad of gas mileage?

 

Heavy foot and larger rims are a two things that pop in my head.

 

Heavy rims might have SOMETHING to do with it but it wouldn't hurt it that much and I purposely didn't stomp on it anywhere with that tank to test it out. What else could be causing this? What am I suppose to be getting the tank?

 

Was it all in town driving? How empty was it when you filled er up? Like how many gallons did you put in?

 

fuel filter.... saved my accords gas milage.. i was getting 16mpg on a 92 accord lx 5 spd.. changed the fuel filter and woohoo 22-28 mpg..

 

240 miles on a full tank? is that highyway miles or local?

 

Some things that could be causing it:

PCV valve - replace. it is cheap
clogged injectors - clean
fuel filter - replace if it is time

 

I usually get between 230-300 miles per tank. Like others mentioned this is dependent on in-town driving or highway driving. Bad air filter could cause it as well.
You could try resetting the ecu as well. :dunno:

 

i only get like 215-220 (mostly local) on my car. i gotta look into it. maybe you guys have bigger tanks?

 

I go back and forth to school on the weekends, which is like 45 miles each way. Rest is in town miles. I had maybe 2 gallons in her last time i filled.
just changed that bout 5K miles ago
not to sound n00bish but where is the pcv valve located and bout how much one cost? also, how would i got about cleaning my injectors?
I got an AEM CAI which I've had since like last June. I've reset the ecu quite a few times. This is really getting on my nerves.
