Fuel Mileage..whats the usual and how can you improve it?
I have a 93 240SX SE which is basically stock, the only modifications are the removal of the factory intake baffle as well as a slightly larger exhaust pipe (although it has a cat and goes into the stock muffler)
My question is this: What should my car get for fuel mileage (IE Range. Its a 50 liter tank, so how many kms?) and How can I improve it Considerations: -I change oil regularly (5000 kms, semisynthetic) -Gearbox and Diff fluid just changed last month -I drive the car enthusiastically, but usually shift at 4000 rpms or so, once in a while give it some stink, rarely sees redline -I think it would be the same on most cars, but the fuel gauge drops more slowly in the middle 2 quarters than the top or bottom quarter -Slight slop in front end, maybe it needs an alignment, or something, nothing major though. -Drove with all my friends from Sudbury to Brit and back. The trip consisted of roughly equal parts highway and city driving. Comparing all the cars to one another, I had the worst mileage of the 4 on that trip. 2002 Mustang GT: V8 4.6 liter. Used quarter tank 2002 Mustang GT: 4.6 liter, open exhaust. Used quarter tank 97 Tiburon FX: 2 liter I4. Used quarter tank 87 Mustang 5 liter. Used quarter tank. My 93 240SX used a little over half a tank on the same trip!! (all cars manual with 50 liter tanks) Has anyone tried mileage-boosting products? Could I need a new O2 or MAF sensor? ANy ideas as to why my car burns more gas than an engine twice its size would be appreciated! Thanks Last edited by twitchy; 04-22-2003 at 11:23 AM.. |
