Seriously, I pumped 6 gallons of gas into my 3.0 when the gas light was on. Then drove 90 miles until the gas light came on yet again. Why on earth am I getting 15mpg and not driving an SS? BTW, my car is a 98 3.0 and is bone STOCK. No nitrous, no intake, just a plain Cl with an affinity for $2.00/gal gas (in Texas no less).

 

ive been getting lower than average gas mileage too... might just be cause its nice, and i like to go fast

 

I don't believe how much gas prices have increased...especially in Texas. I'm filling up my tank each week with 20 bucks worth of gas, and I'm not driving too much. I have no idea why.

 

i've been getting 18 my entire "car life"....actually last time i got an amazing 31!!!

drove 155 miles on 5.042 gallons!!!

well it was all highway lol

 

i just filled up from the gas light, 29 bux and i only got 218 miles on the tank thats 12 miles per gal...whats wrong wit mine?

 

Something must be up with the fuel system. I'm thinking maybe the fuel filter, the injectors, or maybe the engine needs a nice SeaFoam cleaning.

Any ideas?

 

i get about 200-215 miles on a full tank it might be youre air filter man

 

Get a aem v2 and new spark plugs and wires.

 

^^ does that work on a 3.0 too?

 

I have good luck with mine, last week I measured my MPG's at 21.8, pretty fockin awesome!

 

that doesnt seem right. even when i drive my car hard i still get about 16mpg then on the highway i get about 31. you should be gettign at least 250+ miles to a tank. 300 would seem average. I can easily get 400+ miles on the highway @75-80 mph

 

I'll tell u through experience why u gettin less...there's a clog at or around your intake manifold, and/or got somethin to do with ur egr valve...same happend to mine...got 10-13mpg, got it all fixed then went back up to normal mpg....acutally now i'm pushin close to 30 mpg on a 3.0, without a heavy foot

 

How can I get rid of this clog? Where do I look?

Also, is it the EGR valve that is replaced under recall, because I forgot what is supposed to be replaced.

 

you should lower your car , better mileage that way!! less wind resistance.

 

lowering usually gives you worse gas mileage



I get about 330 on a tank before the light comes on



and yes the recall was on the EGR
