Gas mileage?

Post by comets »

I am getting around 300km for a full tank of gas $50 CDN.

This is by far the worst mileage car I've driven.


I am thinking of cleaning the EGV, seafoaming, changing the spark plugs and wires, as well as changing the fuel filter.

Anything else I can try to better the mileage?

Tires are new, and they are set at 32 front and 35 rear's.


Grumble!!!

BTW, this is a 94' Alpine L AWD Wagon.

Ordered new spark plug wires, plugs, oil - air - fuel filters. Lets see how that goes?

Have you done all the tune up stuff yet or are you still waiting for parts? As Dan mentioned in your other thread, O2 sensor would be a very good thing to replace. Also, the coolant temp sensor plays a big role in air fuel ratio, so that may be another item to replace if you know the one you have now is original. They're relatively inexpensive, around $20.

25mpg with mixed driving on the last two full tanks after spark plug change. this is without functioning o2 sensor and a very leaky exhaust plus very worn tires. im happy with it.

It looks alright, I just can't tell from the picture if there are three wires coming from the sensor. I would assume so, but the angle may be such that it makes it difficult to see.
