11mpg need help, can't take this much longer.
11mpg need help, can't take this much longer.
I've had my Z28 since March and I've gotten crappy gas milaege ever sice. I didn't really car because I loved the car and I worked alot of overtime at work so I didn't notice it at the pump too much. But now since I've been laid off and gas prices going sky high I can't take it much longer.
In March I changed the following
spark plugs and wires
thermostat to 160 degree's
alternater
battery
clutch
put underdrive pullies on it
skip shift eliminater
new temp sensor from RK sport
K&N ram air kit and K&N filter
gutted my cat
I know somethings like the batt, alt, and clutch may not have anything to do with it but I just thought I'd list every thing I've done to it. I've drove it easy for a week and got around 240 miles to a tank with a gallon or so left in it and I've also drove it hard and played around in it too and get around 225 miles to the tank. I also don't run my air conditioning either.
Today I topped off my tank with 7 gallons of gas and I had only went 79 miles since I filled up last Thursday. Any suggestions please.

well not being an obd2 car its possible not to get a ses light, a month after i done my exhaust one of mine went bad and i got no codes the only way i found out was with my scanmaster

I have the following mod's in my sig and last tank I got 16mpg's with the A/C on 100% of the time, except the few times I had to unleash the beast. I am running the Bosch o2 sensors and I am going to trade them out for some AC's and see what happens then.
