Default car wasting gas??

i have noticed that my car (2001 integra gsr coupe) runs out of gas at 220 miles. usually it runs out at 270 mile per tank. I have AEM CAI. Is the aem cai causing the gas loss? Thanks for any help.

I just posted a thread on this a little while ago. When was the last time you did a routine check up on it? Replace the spark plugs, distributer cap and rotor, FUEL FILTER and clean your fuel injectors? How many miles does the car have? Mine was wasting a lot of gas and changing the fuel filter and puting injector cleaner in fixed the problem.

should'nt you be getting more like 300 - 320 miles per tank? I have a 96 Gsr thats gets 300+ in the city. Are you a lead foot? I would think that only getting 220 miles is very strange

Sounds like someone likes the sound of their CAI too much :rofl:

Why does only getting that many miles per tank seem odd to you?? I only get about 240 I mean im not running it down to nothing but thats 26 MPG there in a 95 GSR

240 divided by approx. 11 gallons (12.2 gallons being a full tank, but you don't use all 12.2 gallons) equals around 21-22 miles to the gallon...

i run 310 on a full tank and i have a gsr as well, and occassionally i punch it here and there... and thats when the gas light barely comes on.. so around 28 miles to the gallon..

240 isn't rilly normal
