Guest DTECH Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I am getting 17.5 MPG and 385 too the tank and I live in So Cal and fight traffic everyday Gas is at 2.80 I paid 60 bucks to fill up. The person who owned it before me put 30's on it so that could be wrong, probably not by much though. I don't think 31's will affect the MPG to much. BTW I HATE THE 405. Hundreds of thousands of cars going in and out of the valley through an itsy bitsy 12 lane, 6 each way, freeway. During rush hour you are lucky to see 15 MPH. But they are adding another 2 lanes to it so maybe that will help. DTECH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88blk4x4 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I just got my 88 v6 and I filled it up, it has 130 miles since then and has used about 1/4 of a tank....is that good for these?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Readings on gas gauges are pretty meaningless.... They vary wildly. The only way to get meaningful numbers is to calculate mpg from fillup to fillup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder-jay Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Well myself i pay $1.09 a liter right now, put in about 45$ and I get maybe 300km-375km depends what kind of driving im doing Normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaSteRmAcK Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I've got an 89 SE V6 with pacesetter headers, 2.5" catback exhaust, magnaflow muffler, K&N air filter, modified air cleaner housing, and a tornado fuelsaver. I usually get around 450km on 65-70 litres of fuel if babied. If heavy on the pedal, more like 415-425km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89_trailboss Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 holy @!*%!!! my best was 330km to a tank!!! 89 with full 2.5" exhauste, flowmaster 40 no cat. 8mm plug wires new cap rotor, air filter. now I have yet to do a full tank without some wheeling (usually 4 low type of stuff) so im usually using 1/4 tank jsut for wheeling, but still... it sux. and beeing 16 with no job right now is making things alittle tight I do have 31's and 3.5" sus lift, 4 6" lights on the roof and a fresh layer of mud all the time. but my dads totaly stock 94 path. 235's. is getting 440 km to a tank. that isnt that good from the sounds of it...

lowrider Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Before the rebuild, i was getting 375 kms at the most. Now i'm back up to 550! on 31's and i drive on the highway everyday at around 130 kmh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max_stryker Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 thats quite the increase...how many liters is your tank (assuming your from canada). (reasoning: id like to find out how this compares to my 95 in mpg thanks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 The tanks are 80L, or about 21 Gallon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max_stryker Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 thanks for the info. ill be doing the math later on as it would hurt too much right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 The tanks are 80L, or about 21 Gallon. I've run my truck out of fuel at least three times and i've never been able to squeeze more than about 72L into mine. My fuel tank is 'clearanced' from alot of off roading, but even when i got the truck, 70L was the most it would take. My last fuel receipt (from dead empty to full) was 71.05 liters. I got 550 Km's on that tank. So, that's 342 miles driven 18.79 gallons of fuel purchased (1 liter = 0.264172051 gallons) 18.2 MPG and i was getting 12.4 MPG before the rebuild. At current gas prices, and the amount i drive, i'm saving something like $30 per week! -bounce- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max_stryker Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 wow....i went bone dry and got exactly 325m/tank...i put in just over 18 gallons of fuel. thanks for doing the math...and input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryChest Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) I average between 16-18 mpg, with 33" ATs...I can't complain really. Ido a lot of highway driving...probably around 40-50 miles on the highway a day. I will definitely be adding a "lock-out" switch soon to better control my overdrive...maybe get another mpg or so I hope. Next comes 4.9 gears.

Datsunman Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I just refilled my Terrano to the top again after doing 622km from the last fill up and it used 67.7lt of diesel so it's working out at 9.18km/lt or 10.88lt per 100km. Incidentally it was still reading about midway between 1/4 and empty on the guage so assuming the guage is accurate I guess I could possibly see 700km from a full tank to empty. -Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic_mark Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Don't know what I'm getting at the moment though I've got it written down at home (will post soon). But thought I may post this link too:- Acetone fuel suplement Sounds like it gets results adding a little acetone to your petrol. I'm thinking of trying this but before I do, has anyone else tried it, or what's the consesus here? Good or Bad!? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagwoodzz Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) Mythbuster says actually a negative result in mpg. went from like 24mpg to 18. I forgot what kind of car. Like a 87 buick or something similar Great Gas ConspiracyMyth: Automakers and fuel suppliers are in collusion to keep us dependent on expensive gasoline and inefficient cars. There are many devices that one can use to cut your fuel consumption. They got a carbureted car and a fuel-injected car to test several types of devices. The cars were placed on a dynamometer, which allows the car to drive without moving anywhere. Test devices and additives: Fuel line magnets: working on the "principles of hydrodynamics," they are supposed to align the molecules for more efficient consumption. Acetone additive: supposed to make gasoline burn more efficiently 300mpg 'super' carburetor Hydrogen fuel cell generator: flammable hydrogen gas produced by electrolysis. Adam labeled it "Gasbuster: Stickin' it to the Man" They tested each car on the dynamometer at 35mph and 55mph with each 'device.' Carburetor car: Baseline: 17mpg at 35mph and 25mpg at 55mph Magnets: exactly the same as baseline busted Acetone: 16.7mpg at 35mph and 24mpg at 55mph busted Super carb: much worse than baseline, 12mpg at 35mph and 17.7mpg at 55mph busted Fuel-injected car Baseline: 19mpg at 35mph and 27mpg at 55mph Magnets: 18mpg at 35mph and 26mpg at 55mph busted Acetone: 18mpg at 35mph and 26mpg at 55mph busted link to mythbusters Edited June 27, 2006 by dagwoodzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveMyPatty Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 If I drive mine normally, I'll get about 550km to a tank. I just did a 280km trip and I'm a lil over a half of a tank. Probably about 3/5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
