I have been reading that other peole get like 18mpg in town....my very very best is 16 and that walking on egg shells....do I have something wrong?

 

I threw new 02 sensors in my car. I had no check engine light, but I only got 16mpg 90% highway. It made a 10mpg increase.

 

its not the o2's, its the 3 dollars a gallon.... KILL BUSH!

 

i'm still getting 7.7mpg-10mpg with my 93z28. I have done a complete tune up from oil change,oil filter,air filter,map sensor,spark splugs and wires, and o2 sensors. my car still is terrible. I dont drive it hard at all. just cruising speeds.all of my driving is done in town. the only thing i have not fixed has been my electric fans. they are hooked up directly and stays on all the time but that shouldnt even cause my milage to be that bad. i am starting to believe its something worse. i migt have to consider selling her.

 

right now i think im getting around the 13 mark, I have to fill up about every 4 days and hardly go anywhere but work and back

 

oh yeah i forgot to mention the only light that comes on in the dash is the abs light.

 

I'm in the same boat as you guys. I can't get more then 180 - 190 a tank with around town driving. That's with a complete tune up and new o2 sensors. The most i got was 20mpg when i took a long trip and that was with 100% highway driving.

 

I got new O2 sims with a lean tune as well...and i am gettign the same as you are.

 

i get 24 mpg with driving to work on the interstate and to school in town. if i only drive on the interstate i calculated 27.8 mpg even with 4.10's. gotta love the 6 speed.

 

I had a small exhaust leak that cut my mileage down to about 5/8 of what it WAS getting... listen for little pffftinging/ticking from under the car. The guy that screwed the flange for my cat didn't do it tight enough and I got it fixed yesterday. Not to mention it pulls much smoother now and feels better overall.

 

hmm, thats very possible, i got crapy clamps on my pacesetter y pipe.

 

Can you guys translate that to total kms to a tank. I've been getting under 400kms to a tank. Recently my car was running rough, I took off the hypertech PIII programming & it started runnin better. I got my trip meter set when I did the last fill up so I'm waitin to see if it helped. I suspect it did but I'll post back when I know for sure.

 

I wish i was in your boat then. i can only get 120-125 miles per full tank. this car is making my wallet feel like a feather!

 

sorry, the extra wait would reduce mpg.
