i have a '97 3.0 CL and i feel like i have REALLY CRAPPY MPG
anyone else experiencing this?
how much gas is a full tank on our car anyways?
i thought it was something like 16? if so i get like...a little better than 10mpg city

>=\ with gas prices so high i can't afford this!!

 

Fuel Tank Capacity: 17.2 gal

EPA Mileage Estimates: 20 mpg / 28 mpg

Range in Miles: 344 mi. / 481.6 mi.

FYI: I’ve noticed if you don’t go in to those high RPMs you'll get way better gas mileage

 

Hey whats the EPA estimates for the 2.3? Im afraid know since i get like 18mpg city.

 

Fuel Tank Capacity: 17.2 gal.

EPA Mileage Estimates: Manual: 25 mpg / 31 mpg
Automatic: : 23 mpg / 29 mpg

Range in Miles: Automatic: 395.6 mi. / 498.8 mi.
Manual: 430 mi. / 533.2 mi.

 

I dont know about why your mpg is so off--- I get at least 300 miles to my tank and thats not being a grandpa the whole time. I do combined city and highway miles

 

i'm going by the book

 

I just drove 350 miles with myself, 2 adults and my 9 year old son in our '98 2.3CL 5sp at an average of 72MPH over very hilly terrain and long steep grades on I91 & I89... never had to shift out of 5th gear ( that impressed me - lotta torque in that little 4 banger).

I checked the mileage after getting back home and it was almost dead-on 32MPG. By myself and communting over mountains at about 55MPH, I get 34-35MPG. I like to get on it once and awhile but generally only use the power as necessary... passing on 2 lane roads, etc.

My car has about 57K on the clock and I have not done a thing to it since purchase last year except change oil and air filter. I really enjoy driving my Acura and hope to at least double the miles to 150k (my last car, 1990 Maxima went 182K before I sold it).

 

I average around 20-23 mpg and it's mostly city driving and I do enjoy some "spirited" driving pretty often. That intake/exhaust sound is way too intoxicating as you rip through gears.

 

i get about 260-280 miles before my light comes on. How bout you guys?

 

i get about 300-320 miles and then i have to fill up, its too expensive out here, 87, which i shouldnt be running cause of my vafc controller i need 92 or the highest. but i run 87 and an octane boost since the iraqi crisis and it runs decently but i can tell i need to run 92, my engine runs so much better with 92

 

how much do you put in when you fill up? what about 14.5 gallons?

 

dude! ive never gotten the light to come on...i find when it does, it'd be tooo late...if i have like an 1/8 left, my car is really hard to start so i never usaully go below 1/8th....i always fill up again...the light has never come on for me....

no shit cause my light comes on after i've gone through 14 gallons

 

If you are getting that bad of gas mileage...its

1) Your driving style...i've seen 16mpg on my CLS revving and racing around the City.

2)You might have a bad O2 sensor that is richening the fuel supply

3)Your fuel pressure regulator might be broken.

4)Your fuel filter may need cleaning.

5)Air filter may need cleaning.

6)Oil change may be in order

7)New Sparkplugs, wires, cap and rotor (ie. tune-up)

There may be a few other things... Also, running 38psi in your tires will trade a little grip for less rolling resistance which equals better mpg.

 

I get 310 to 345 mpt (miles per tank)

 

yes my car must be messed up
...cRAP!!! i get such horrible MPG!! =(
and no i never race it around or wutevaz...i mayb floor it like once a month or somethin

i have intake and exhaust and 19" rims...think those might affect it?

 

its ur rims those are huge...each time u accelerate from a stop u must eat up gas like no other
