Gas Mileage
What kind of gas mileage do we get. It seems like i am feeling up way to much. I have a 97 3.0.
I am guessing it should be like 25.
What can i do to improve it

I usually get around 25mpg. If you want to get better, try driving really nice (yeah right!) or only on the highways. They say that a K&N filter will slightly improve your milage as well, but I dont know if I trust that; anybody have one? Other then that, I dont know of anything.

I filled up my gas tank thursday. And i set the trip.
My light lit up today at like 225 and i filled up at like 230.
Why is my gas mileage so bad. I thought it was supposed to do like 300 maybe even 350.
I do have a V6 3.0 though.

I have a 97 3.0 and I get around 21-24 mpg... It's been said that the 3.0CL is the gas-guzzler of the Honda family... it's sad but true. I also have an automatic, and supposedly that gets worse mileage, too (or is it the other way around... I can't remember for some reason - head block).

Yeah but lets say that i even got 20 miles to the gallon. We have a 17 gallon tank.
20 x 17 = 340 miles
i got only 230.
Even if it were a 14 gallon tank
20 x 14 = 280
What can i do to bring that up.

27.5 on my last tank, and I don't try to conserve fuel. ever. colorado, however, uses ethanol in winter so this should be a worst case scenario.

I'm getting about 26 miles per gallon. Best is only around 29 or so. That's about 440 for the longest tank and I usually have to fill up around 400 miles or so. I've never seen my the pump fill me up to any more than 15.5 gallons. So I guess I've got an extra 2 gallons to go before my car just dies of fuel starvation.

I guess this one reason why I'm glad I have a 2.2.(well, other than the fact that I need to drive a stick) I can get a little over 360 miles out of a full tank, thats from full to just about empty. It increased when I went from 32psi to 35psi in the tires.

I am averaging about 20mpg driving both local and highway. The needle points to only a quarter of the tank left, but When I fill up I only need to fill 9-10 gal (about 200 miles). This tells me that the needle does not show in proper scale of how much you have left. I usually don't like to wait until the last minute to fill up, but I may just do that to see what's the real range of the CL 3.0

Ruskibusiness, you must be figuring your milage wrong, divide your miles traveled by gallons used, not the size of your tank. I get 20mpg when I drive like a bad ass and about 32 when I am real nice.

I have one big problem in all of this.
MY FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE IS BROKEN. Due to a little accident, when i was installing indiglo gauges. Its better then the speedometer.
But, my light still goes on. I got the 225 with me putting like 14-15 gallons in it.
That is still like 15-16mpg. It still sucks, why
My friends husband told me it might be the O2 Sensor. It detects how much gas is goin in and out, in regulates all that. He said there might be a problem with that.
Or maybe i should get a new air filter.
What else might help.
Sorry for the long long post

2001 CL Type S
I have been getting around 20 to 22 mpg, a mix of driving through the hills, down a freeway and city driving with about 37 miles each way. Depending on how much I put my foot into the pedal, the smoother I am the better.

could be a combination of things.... Do you step on it? what is your crusing speed? Dirty fuel injectors? try using some injector cleaner, Low air pressure in your tires?

Haha I saw the $1.50 gas price and was like HOLY $HIT where does this guy live....then I saw 2001... 
Oh well I live in MO where premium is $3.01 today so I can't complain too much.
BTW, I get about 24-25 w/ mostly highway 90/10 split

93 octanie and my o2 sensor are good, fuel filter and air cleaner are new, egr is not clogged, injectors i but textron to clean it. i think whats happing is the temperture sensor keep thinking its colder than what it is so it keep it rich the hole time felt like a misfire on one of the cyclinders at idlie but no cel code. and my fuel trim is about 6.2% its using to much gas at idile and i use as pecoscope and it has an ugly pattern its spikey and round falls of shout back up

Expensive, no grip, and dangerous in the snow.. that's MXV4
My dad had those on his Corolla and I can't believe how bad they were.
Most any tire though if you overinflate them a bit it'll improve your gas mileage slightly because of the lower rolling resistance
