Does 14MPG seem good for city traffic driving?
Does 14MPG seem good for city traffic driving?
I'm getting about 215 miles to a full tank, this is almost running until she's dry, but doesn't stall, our tanks are around 15.32 gallons, so I calculated 14MPG, this is driving city traffic bumper to bumper, at times its ok where I can drive ok speeds but still stop lights everywhere, but ussually on the way back from school I hit traffic where its stop & go, hitting 3rd gear is great, mostly in 1st, 2nd, 3rd pretty much, at time I go into 4th but rarely.
My cam specs are in the 24X-25X range & on a 109 LSA, rest is in the sig.
Let me know what you think, I also have a problem with my gas tank cuz it won't hold pressure as in evaporated fuel, if I take off the gas cap, it'll never hiss out, I mean never & smells like raw gas at times, so I'll be doing a fuel pump swap soon & double check all the hoses. needless to say, I've spent quite some time on the tune & wanted to hear some opinions on the gas milage.
Thanx. Matt.

14 is good for that cam. Calculate it the correct way though. Fill up, drive a certain # of miles then fill up again, and divide miles by gallons used.
I'm running one of Joe's cams and I usually get 21-22mpg mix and 17-18 all city/racing.

LT's and duals w/stock cam (and all your other typical bolt ons) here. I was getting somewhere between 12 and 15 mpg city. Then I solved a vacuum leak and replaced both o2's with new ac delco units. Now I get 20 - 21.5 mpg city (beating on it some though probably not like y'all are
). I got 280 miles outta this last tank (13.8 gallons went in when I filled it).

I am completely stock except for Cat-Back & Modified stock CAI, I get around 17 MPG city (not bumper to bumper tho, just short trips), when i do get a chance for highway i pull about 23-25 with the A4

Any dyno #'s w/ the new setup or any track times?
Are you stock bottem end?
Who did the tuning?
What are you planning on spinning it up to?
BTW....Gotta love Joe and Lloyd.
