how much are you all getting? Im getting worse mileage than my V8 T/A.

 

On my old old 93 v6 bird a4 I got 24-25 MPG.

 

we were getting 25ish, now its down to 19-22

 

im getting around 23mpg, so between 350-400 miles, that was last summer but right now im only getting around 20 mpg

 

my LS1 is getting 300 to a tank and my 94 3.4 is barely cutting 200.

 

on a bad tank 230 or more, on a good tank, 270-285. I don't know what MPG that is....what is our tank, 15.4 gallons or something?

 

in my 97 A4 3.8 i'm getting 21-22

in my 640 horse power turbo 355 trans am i was getting 23 in an auto, now it's got it behind a M6 and i'm hopeing to get 25

 

im getting the idea that a 300+ horsepower V8 is going to get more mileage than a stock V6? maybe the car is so heavy, the v6 needs more gas just to pull it around?

 

yep, its called being underpowered

 

The 3.4L is just not the most well put together engine from the factory in it's early years--that's GM for you. Give the FWDers the goods later on in the 90s instead! The intake and heads both flow like crap, so that's a bad starting point.

We have a nice fat thread alluding to aluminum heads/intake with a guy with a 3.4L that puts out 216hp/250tq at the CRANK with a bad driveshaft and injectors that are NOT up to the task. Naturally aspirated, mind you. See the potential with a naturally balanced 60 degree v6? I do. Factory iron heads = C-R-A-P. CRAP!

Don't give up on the 3.4L just yet. Mix in a tuneup as well. My friend I bought my 3.4L car from has a happy 95 Convertimaro 3.4/auto owner that gets 30+ mpg's on the highway easily. So, something is going well for at least one 3.4 owner these days.

 

around town w/ my foot in it i only get 13.4 mpg, but on the highway i average somewhere around 21-23 mpg. mind you this is on a 211,000 mile car w/ no engine work other than a water pump, alternater, and tensioner pulley

 

haha, i got 211,000 on the odometer too. near 200 miles to the tank. i've decided to sell the car. it runs good and the a/c is freezing, but the gas mileage is worse than my v8 firebird. i've given up on the 3.4. im stickin to the 8 cylinder firebirds.

 

in my 94 camaro with a 150,000 i'm getting like 280 km per tank if i give it and like almost 400 if i just creeep it

 

wierd i get reallly good gas millage on the highway i get around 300-320 a tank. mabe your gas gague is broken it is on my blazer when im at 200 mile it says either empty or full. i get good city gas millage to

 

guys, my 3.8L has 85k on the engine and 195k on everything else and I still get over 400 miles to the tank (not sure how much over since they have damn chevy floater guages and no warning light)....in the city i usually get 300-330 with a little hot rodding (if you call my 3.8L a hot rod lol)
