all you can do is get a tune up,get an intake,and drive like a :killer: there are some 3.0 that say they get 300-400+ mpg i say but wait for one of them to respond.

you could reset your computer by disconnecting your battery for 15 min, because right now it is so used to your driving ...it may help...

Wow, lots of canadians on this thread!

I have a 2.3 and I get 500 - 550 Kms easy. When I fill up, it usually tops up at about 55 liters even though theoretically the gas tank is 65 liters.

300Km = 168.41136 Miles So yeah, you need a tune-up. Your gas millage is for shit.

I can go in the city at around 23 mpg which is 37.01491Km per 3.78541 Ltrs which works out real close to 10km per 1Ltr. hmmm... not great, but hey a tune up will probably help you.

On the highway, I get closer to 28mpg... you can do the math.

i asked my mechanic a while back and he suggested just changing my fuel filter, that didn't really help at all. make if i do the whole airfilter, spark plugs stuff that would help...

do you guys know if i put a wiring kit if that might help?

Over 400 esay to a tank on a 2.3, all city with 3-5 grand shifting. I'm @ 373 right now with the needle close but not touching the E mark.

I hope the I/H, spark plug wires and rotor adds more miles to the tank.

i took it kinda ez delivering pizzas tonight and after 12 hours of delivering i had gone just over 100 miles. 22.7mpg.

i know my car hasnt had a tuneup in the last 30000 miles for sure. cant say how old anything on it is except the oil which i changed last week when i got my altenator... so im sure i could get decent mileage if i changed the filters and had the fuel system cleaned and new plugs n wires.

i get arround 375 km per tank with regular gas and arround 400 with premium.
but i drive like a asshole with a lead foot.
havnt had a tune up in forever, my air filter is filthy as well.
soposidly a cold air will help alot

If you want better economy, get smaller wheels. the bigger the circumfrence the worse your milage will be.

slam it and throw on some 12's haha
