What are some tips to getting better gas mileage in my 1999 Acura CL 3.0

what is your average gas mileage?

 

tips: drive like a granny, dont drive at all
my mileage: 27-30 city, 30-34 highway. but i have the smaller engine with the manual.

 

97 3.0

I get about 200miles per 9 gallons...all city driving...kinda depressing, but i guess i cant expect much for a 10+ year old v6

 

sell you car, buy a civic if you want milage
some things more pratical to consider are:
fresh oil change; new ail filter, spark plugs, wire, distributor cap; seafoam; tires inflated to 32 psi, alingment

 

hybrid...mmmmm hahha...

everything dicorp mentioned....what i usually do is switch cars off wit my parents..fill my tank up and only use my car on the weekends

 

yea, I have a 97 3.0 and I am getting 250 Miles on 1 full tank. There is no way that is normal. I should be doing at least 350. I'm going to replace the Oxygen sensor, air filter, spark plugs and wires, and test again see if that helps. Then seafoam it if necessary.

 

I would replace the plugs and wires, put a cold air intake on, seafoam, yada yada. I need to replace my plugs come to think of it

 

first Sea Foam and then replace all the stuff that you mentioned.....any thing that is remotely related to the air fuel mixing process should be maintained/replaced/cleaned....

Inflate the tire to the correct pressure all round...32psi as dcrop said...

Also while driving leave the lead foot at home if you want any kind of decent MPG.....

I DD 105miles on my 98 2.3cl engine with over 200kmiles on it i average 26MPG mixed driving....consedering that it is a 10yr old engine with the milage and no monthly payments......... it is a steal

i'm getting 10L/100km if i drive easy, 11L/100km if i'm givin it and then like 9L/100km if i'm doing highway.

 

I get roughly 27 mpg, mixed driving

 

1slo, i'm with you... around 27 with mixed... but that's also the 2.3 5-speed...

 

I changed my fuel filter as well, though I wouldn't wish diy'ing it on anyone lol

 

go get your cooling system flushed professionally, new plugs, distributor cap, wires, oil, oil filter, fuel filter, 32 psi on the tires - get them balanced and aligned and you might get to where i am.

up to almost 40mpg in my 2.2. if youre as broke as me you learn to use neutral on pretty much every hill.

 

:f luffy:

I just replaced my dashboard lights to LED's and my gas mileage went up from 16 to 27 mpg!!!! Holly Molly !!!! Next, I will paint my grille and maybe I will hit 30 mpg !!!

 

wow. getting 27MPG in your 2.2/2.3's

I just figured mine out int he Protege today and Im getting 21 MPG....90% city driving other than the 5 minutes every morning im on the highway to school every morning
and my engine is a 2.0 A/T

 

i get about 250 to a full tank thats like 16-17 gallons of gas. So yeah the 3.0 under a usual half throttle is gonna suck down fuel

 

most i ever got was 250miles out of 13gallons.

 

when i had my 3.0 I got 270 some outta like 14.6 gal i think it was. thats was like my best ever

 

Didnt' drive my car for almost 2 years and I still get better than that ^^^

 

i just recently got a full tune up and i jumped up to 400 miles on 14gallon tank..thats about 60% highway 40% city..but thats driving a few miles on empty

 

98 3.0CL Auto
13.7 gallons
278 miles (City)
20.29 mpg
Lube, Oil and Filter service around 3000 miles ($43.12 at Acura dealer)
Thinking about hypermiling but not sure putting "neutral" gear while driving on auto transmission

 

I've personally hit 2x 324miles w/ 13gallonss, not bad ehh? Seem better than some of the guys here =x. Less than quarter tank was highway; rest was deliveries/local. I remember it was like 25-27mpg (no calc near me, too lazy) , however pretty good for city driving/speeding here and there.

 

I managed 25 MPG last tank, a very rare occurrence. I usually average 19-21 MPG. Cruise control FTW.

 

I typically get 28-32 highway. My speedo is off considerably, so it turns out I was driving 55-65 instead of 60-70+, so now I get 28-30 as opposed to 32s that I got in prevous times. I tend to gun it in the city and get anywhere from 15-20.

If you drive near the speed limit as I do on the highway ( without much variance in speed ), you'll get decent mileage with a 3.0, I think.

 

its either i need a tune up (which is a def.) or i need to stop racing....which is killin my mpg

 

I don't race my car, and I've replaced plugs. Guess I need to go onto the distributor cap and rotor, and take a look at my EGR valve...
