also calling bullshit. when i drove the s13 daily, even when it was running perfectly i was averaging a little over 300 if i got down to driving on fumes.

HalveBlue · 04-13-2011, 04:02 PM

i took take the KA from Salt Lake to Vegas a couple of times on 1 1/4 tanks of gas. Usually had to stop around St. George to fuel up; that's right around 400 miles.

And that's driving in a high-altitude environment with a lot of relatively steep grades and some spirited driving through the Virgin River Gorge.

So, I don't think getting 430 miles out of tank is impossible.

singlecamslam · 04-13-2011, 04:18 PM

i got 400+ miles on a tank. KA's are good on the highway shitty in the city though. My subaru barely gets 20. Sad.

zeitgeist · 04-13-2011, 04:38 PM

i used to get around 450 per tank. But my engine was rebuilt, tuned, and i drive slow.

now after sitting for a year I only get about 300 because its running rich

The price also sucks but this just gives me a reason to get a GSX-R or CBR

h2v7 · 04-13-2011, 04:39 PM

200 to the tank

balllllllin

Usually it would take a little over half a tank to drive my S13 from KC to STL or back. That is about 240-250 miles.

Since then I removed even more weight and replaced all the major rotating parts with lightweight ones. I am curious to find out what kind of mileage it will get now.

khai01 · 04-13-2011, 10:17 PM

tailgating semi truck on the highway is possible.

Bushido · 04-13-2011, 10:19 PM

i get 400 on the reg out of a full tank on my stock ka minus emissions eqip.

LimeLite Racing · 04-13-2011, 10:40 PM

Gonna sell the 240 and buy a Prius.

caspa · 04-13-2011, 10:41 PM

why do you guys fill up the gas tank til it's full??
doesn't that shit weight the car down? just saying, I always put 30 bucks at a time.

ronmcdon · 04-13-2011, 10:59 PM

Best I got out of my s14 w/sr was about 26 mpg, all freeway driving @ 75 mph.
not sure what the tank capacity is, but 12 gallon x 26 mpg is around 300 miles-ish

blownmotor · 04-13-2011, 11:12 PM

Buy a TDI 60+ MPG

can we all agree that road trip mpg's don't count? i've averaged close to 30mpg driving to florida, but that's definitely not what i get on a day to day basis. unless you guys are all purely driving on highways, there's no way, bro, no way.
i'm taking this way too seriously right now.

I don't buy it

stinky_180 · 04-14-2011, 10:47 AM

Just casually cruising around for me needs to slow. Other than that, I just need to chill out on the gas pedal. When my mustang's done, that thing is NOT gonna leave the damn garage either. 8 mpg.

Walperstyle · 04-14-2011, 11:13 AM

High gas prices effects suburbanites that are fighting for jobs in place where they are not needed.

I encourage everyone to find work where nobody else is, and gas prices will be a non-issue for you. aka, move to where there is jobs, or create change.

mkezzo16 · 04-14-2011, 01:42 PM

I'll get another 600cc sport bike ...

harangatang · 04-14-2011, 02:06 PM

I was getting 31mpg in my redtop... hwy cruising.
My current ka.... between 20 and 25... no bueno.

I LOVE how everyone talks big about getting a supersport bike. Hey zeitgeist, have you ever ridden a gixxer, or cbr? Have you ever ridden a motorcycle in your life?

Everyone thinks it's necessary to get a 600 or 1000 because it makes them 'badass'. All it will make you is a dead squid with your brains splattered on the floor for trying to look cool, with a bike that does 0-60 faster than any turbo 240 ever would, on two wheels with no protection.

On top of that, I hate when noobs talk about getting a 600+cc superbike because of the gas mileage.

You DO realize that those bikes get 30-35 mpg at the most on average right?
Stick with your car. Don't die.

Thanks, Kam

Saving up for a motorcycle...

Persona · 04-14-2011, 02:44 PM

Just giving me more reason to get a 1000cc bike, in bright green. It'll be badass.

Lol, I think riding a streetbike in a high traffic area would be like asking to die anyways, there's too many idiots on the road that are caught up in their own world when they should be focused on driving. I'd rather not be another statistic; If it really gets that bad get a yaris lol things are cheap as fuck and roomy at least and you don't get raped on insurance
