bout 150-200 miles city, 350-375 highway

 

I get around 200-275 depending on how i drive it. I thought that was low

 

lol, gas is too expensive here to fill up full (2.37) <-- that's for regular 87 octane

 

I used to get 375 to a tank. I took a road trip one time and made it 415 miles before I pulled over and got gas again(was running on fumes). That calculated out to be almost 32 mpg. The motor had about 185k miles on it, maybe it got such good mileage becuase the clearances had loosened up?

Now after I had some new bearings/rings/etc done to the motor I'm only getting about 330-350 miles per tank :crazyrant I'm going to change all the fluids in the driveline of my car and make sure the tires have enough air in them. Maybe I can get some of my fuel mileage back.

BTW it is a bone stock engine.

 

300 here

 

ok now i have to find out why my car is sucking up so much gas.

 

When was the last time you did a tune-up? Plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter etc? Maybe the MAF sensor is dirty?

 

lil under 300

 

everything was done in the past month

 

i get around like 260 a tank when i drive it hard in the city. my tank right now has 2, 100 mile trips on it and im about to roll 300 miles on this tank with it about on empty.

 

I drive 660 miles a week back and fourth to work and i get about 320-330. oh and yeah its got 277xxx miles on it :dancingco

 

290-ish. combonation of highway and city on my CA18DET. got almost 350 a tank on my KA24E.

 

I could prolly get about 250 on my KA24E and I ride it kinda hard ... I never let it get to empty, though. I usually fill up whenever I get to a 1/4 of a tank left or right under that line ...

 

i get about lil under 300 a tank. and that is mostly city driving but some highway. but that ius not really riding it hard then i get about 250 or so just depends if their are any hondas talking shit. lol

 

~415 highway, and 350-375 city.. but I just did a tune up like 2k miles ago..

edit: oh yeah, I'm bone stock.. drop in K&N doesn't count in my book..

 

When my knock sensor was bad I was getting around 200 or so. Now I am getting about 360-370 on a tank.

 

damn, i drive like a bat outta hell almost everywhere and i get like 400+ to the tank... i never go past 3/4 throttle though cause it really doesnt do much.

Symptoms of a bad knock sensor? My car seems to surge a little bit throughout the rev range, I'm thinking it might be picking up false knock.

 

i wish i could tell ya but my trip meter is all frozen up and keep forgetting to keep track with my odometer

Quite possible. Mine was throwing the knock sensor code and putting my car in fail safe mode because of the timing chain hitting the guide. (it was very loud) Once I fixed that and reset the ecu everything was fine.


And for the guy that doesn't push the gas in more than 3/4 of the way. Sux that it doesn't make power there for you.

 

semi-hijack, re: knock sensor.

is it possible for that to go bad without throwing a code? I'm still trying to figure out wtf is causing my low-rpm surging when cold... driving me nuts. throwing no codes, all maintenence items replaced - filters, pcv, new plugs and wires, fuel system cleaner.

almost only does it when cold. even at idle, the revs will climb and drop between normal idle and like 1000-1500rpm. then when driving at that same range, it will slow down, surge ahead, back n forth.

never thought of the knock sensor...

 

Usually low 300's per tank, KA24de

 

I usually get about 400 or so highway and about 200-300 depending on how hard I drive it in the city.

I don't think the knock sensor will go or pick up knock without the ecu picking it up. I have changed so many things trying to get rid of my hesitation. I finally found out what it was...Clogged catalytic (sp) converter. I just took it off the other day and that thing was so dark black inside and couldn't see through it. I put a test pipe in it's place and now it doesn't hesitate at all. I didn't think that this would be the problem, but it sure did fix it.

Vacuum leak?
