mikeinIdaho Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Just to ad my .02 worth, on my 93SE with MT I get 310miles from FULL to out of gas! with no low fuel light. Thank goodness for jerry cans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 from WA dove to Calil last month. avg'd 18.5 and 18.7 to grants pass. Avg'd low 17's on cali gass and 80+mph speeds in cali. same numbers on the way back. cargo; me, 2 girls, 1 dog & luggage for the 4 of us to last 1.5 wks (that includes the girls luggage) things that may have contributed to my decent mpg; headers, e-fan and midgrade gass the whole way.

Pinip Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) ...Translate 14.9 liters/100kms... based on a 976km drive...had to fuel 2 times and half but then it was not all empty... can't quite say how many liters it holds... I've seen 57 liters tanks/15 gallons ...can't be it would make 3.8 liters per !! usually a gallon is 4.5 liters on a pathfinders specs i found 21.1 gallons...hum... thats no straight answer i guess.. hard to figure, capacity can be mesured in liters, american gallons, british gallons, canadian gallons ...ppffffffff. don't think there are any american liters or canadian liters... i hope !! anyway...let say about 500km on a tank would make 312 miles... if i divide by 4.5 l/gal. not nautical miles now !!

nismothunder Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 In the winter the worst I ever got was 9 mile to the gallon.Average was 13-14 when it was -30 out with a warm up.As of so far this spring 17-18 average with one day I found out that I got 23 mpg going 50mph and none winter gas.two days ago I got 17.82 mpg and it needs a fill up to day so I'm hoping for more since I didnt go wheeling.

DavefromOZ Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I get about 650-700km out of a tank, my wife gets less than me (not sure how). Gotta love the TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittamaru Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I can push approx 350 miles to a tank... but that's bringing it very low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Last fill up 300mi @ 15gals= 20mpg Ive seen 350mi before filling up a few times. 1990 SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittamaru Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 *nods* Like I said - a few months after my new plugs/wires/cap/rotor and a few uses of Lucas products to clean the injectors and fuel lines (and shortly a new fuel filter) and I'm able to squeak about 350 before my idiot light comes on Problem is, my fuel gauge doesn't work, so my idiot light is my ONLY warning... that's my 2 gallon warning isn't it?

jrodmorris1015 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 94, auto lil over 200k, around 300 mi per tank, needs a tune up i imagine, buti also have the skinny pedal monkey on my back, i did take the spare rack off to repaint, leaving it off for awhile, very heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittamaru Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I think getting street tires to reduce rolling resistance and re-doing the paint/clearcoat and fixing the rust spots should help me... improved aerodynamics +1 MPG and reduced rolling resistance +1mpg >_> I can dream, right?

95champagnepath Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I'm lucky to get over 250 miles to a tank. Though I've ran to a pretty well at or below the "E", after filling up it was about 17.8 gallons after getting about 280 miles to that tank. I've read the driver's manual at least 10 times and it claims that it has a 21 gallon tank, though I'm not too sure about that. Cruising on the highway around 70mph I average about 320 to a tank. Around town I avg about 12-14 mpg on an easy throttle. Freeway is about 16-17 mpg. Worst I've ever seen was around 180 miles to a tank (>10mpg) , but that was a really cold week... haha. Not too sure why my rig drinks soo much fuel. But gas isn't soo expensive nowadays so I'm not too affected. Haven't had a serious tune up, so that could be the problem.

Morningwould Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I have a Z24 with a 16 gal tank and the most I've ever squeezed out of it is 230 miles. I average 15-16 MPG back and forth to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95champagnepath Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I ran premium for the first few months after I bought it and was getting maybe a couple more mpg's. That was when a shell station had V-Power for $0.07 over regular, but they went out of business haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittamaru Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 *ponders* What all affects MPG? Air Resistance Rolling Resistance Driving Habits Bad Fuel Clogged Filters Clogged Injectors Old plugs Old wires distributor cap and rotor old oil? leaks? etc?

StatutoryApe Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 i get around 200 miles per tank. which averages out to 12 mpg. i get around 15 on the highway. all these numbers are horrible, i know. factors: vg30I 33's w/ 4.65 (stock gears) mostly city driving. 2.5 miles to work. 6 miles to school. so the engine usually isn't even fully warmed up by the time i reach my destination. i know every gas-saving trick in the book and use them all. 87 grade octane. and that's about it.

Kittamaru Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Oh, I'm sure... I'm just looking for all the electrical/mechanical things that affect MPG... the higher those are, the better the result from gas-conservative driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landis Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hmm. My truck runs out of gas once a month at maybe two miles past 300. I actually got about fourteen when the engine was running on five cylinders with 183 degree off-timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldeneye123454321 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hey everyone, My 1995 SE-V6 5spd has been getting great gas milage, after a full tune up, a new o2 sensor, and changing all diff and trans fluid to Amsoil syn. She has 168,000 miles on her and has always been run on Mobil 1 since new. As of lately I have been getting close to 340 miles to a full tank, and if I was gutsy I guess I could push it more. So what are you getting to a full tank? And also what size is my tank so I can figure out the MPG. Thanks, Zack The absolute best way to find out you average gas mileage is when you fill your tank. Here is what you do. Find out how many miles you have drove. And find out how many gallons you filled up. Take the miles you drove and divide it by the number of gallons you filled up with. I know this is common sence so dont beat me up about it. Here is a tip though, when you are filling up set the pump to the lowest automatic setting that it will stay on by it self. This will make it pump slower, and as a result you will get more liquid gas for your dollar versus if you would fill up as fast as you can. The faster you fill up, the more gas vapors you get. So the best thing to do is, pump slow. You WILL get more liquid gas for your dollar! Trust me, this is what I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSlowReliable Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) on my trip to silver lake (55-65 three hour drive) i got 150 miles from a 1/4 tank.... somewhere near 16 gallon tank but then on the dunes i used a 1/4 to go 33 miles :S I just did the math, and i think my gas gauge is off...LOL I think we calc'd it when i filled up b4 the dunes...and it was around 26 mpg highway Pretty good for a 91 Edited May 8, 2009 by OldSlowReliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasPathfinder Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Just went on a 700+ mile trip and got 17mpg there and 23 mpg back. On the way there I was pushing wind, on the way back the wind died off and I could get some MPGs. City driving is 16ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
