Well i drive a 97 GT, bone stock 5sfe w/ bosh plat. +4's, Injen shortram, Greddy sp catback, and DG performance Test pipe .... and on a full tank of 92 Shell V-power i'm getting less that 300 miles to the tank :'( .
What should i look at first? The plugs? ... O2 sensor? i know i have a small exhaust leak somewhere, but it couldnt cause all that. Any suggestions? --------------------  |

people you are confusing 2 things. GT and ST.
ST's are going to get higher mileage per tank. Right around 400. I usually am at 400 with 1/4 tank left- that includes some spirited jaunts down the road. GT's are going to get less gas mileage because of the bigger engine. From what I understand somethig in the 300-350 miles on a tank is normal. Kamax, if you are filling up to 14.4 I am going to be worried, as the tank is only 13.9 -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
