The other day I got 174 miles to a half tank of gas. To me thats pretty darn good. Does anyone else have numbers close to this? This of course was after a tune up (minus oil change). Before I was getting about 300 miles to a full tank of gas. Now, if I just double that its approx 350 to a full tank. Are these results normal for a post tune up?

never figure gas milage from the gas gauge position, the reading changes as fuel moves around in the tank. wait till you fill up and then do the simple math of miles drive divided by gallons used.

I got around 400 miles for a full tank. I got a 95' st that mileage seems good to me.

with the auto in 4 door form (same weight as celica :nuts: ) im getting 27-30 on my commute to work which would be classified as mixed city/"highway".
on real stop and go i see mid to low 20's, 23-25ish on real highway cruising i see 30-38 depending on hills, mountains, speed, etc. worst was 30mpg doing 80-90mph, best was 38 doing 60-70. This post has been edited by Bitter: May 5, 2008 - 10:30 PM -------------------- |
