saiko_cl_duck

i average about 340 a tank, and thats primarly highway miles, but also some city

kamdawg

yeah im pretty lucky to get 300 per tank. maybe an intake and other little stuff might help

eros904

Im with you around those estimates. I have to take it easy on the gas pedal.

Are you kidding me? How much do you guys normally put in a tank? Best I've gotten was 230 all highway. Just below a quarter of a tank, I'm lucky to hit 200, and that's on regular mixture. I can't get shit with this winter gas. It's not like a drive crazy either, I do the speed limit 95% of the time. I usually put 9.5 - 11 gallons on a refill.

for me its right around 300, mostly highway. at what rpms do u guys usually shift at for highway driving? btw im drivin a 97 2.2.

I drive a 2.2CL and I get from 270 to 300. My old Accord with the same motor would get 300 every tank.

I shift around 3 grand, though I still have a lead foot in this car and take off more often than not. The gas gauge in the Acura shows really low around 250, but only 9 or 10 gallons will fill, so I figure I can get to 300 most every time.

Chinisimo

Stew97CL3.0

comming up on 480 kms -298 miles my 1st full tank of gas in the new car

Awesome milage for a v6 - I love this car!

L0uie69

dam thats a lot for a tank on a v6 i can barly get 340km on a tank

Stew97CL3.0

Time for a tune up and fuel filter maybe? granted my milage is mixed driving but it's about 70/30 city/highway. The car is still new to me too, i'm romping on it every time I drive it!

CLDude

I get about 500-530km with a full tank. (v6)

subbuzz

to all you 3.0 getting 20+ mpg. how do you do it? my latest calculation says im not even getting 17mpg. what octane do u 20+mpg guys use? i use 87 cuz they said 93 may burn slower but leaves sh*t leftover in your tank. i havent really beat on her due to weather conditions(icy/rainy) so i haven't really been flooring it. just got a tune up too.

Well, comparably I guess I'm doin well.

I get 24 mpg all city. When you do the math that's 330 miles to ever 13/14 gallons which is between the 3/4 tank mark and the E. I had a little over 400 mpg when the needle was on E at one time.

The Car: A stock 98 2.3 5-speed with NGK plugs, K&N filter in stock intake, 5w30 engine oil, BP regular octane, and with shifting between 3-5 grand.

CLDude

I use Petro Canada Fuel 87 octane. Maybe you should use that also. lol

agranado

alright. sounds like you may need a tune up... otherwise, kill the tank all the way (its a 17 gallon tank) and then check how much you can get.

I myself usually run the tank to 3~ gallons left, and I pull around 310-325 miles a tank.

This is a bit low, but I havent had the car tuned up in a while, plus I have a misfire going off (which eats gas like a bitch.)

I have a 2.2 5spd. and I also always fill the double deuce with 87 octane.

rajin_2.3cl

95% of my driving is hwy km's and i'm getting around 650 kms on 87 octane....just cruising around 110 km/h

Stew97CL3.0

My last 2 tanks were 92 octane.. i've switched to 87 to see what happens... I also checked my tire pressure and it was low - 28psi in the front. Pumped her to 31. I'll post my results in a week or so

rage007

I'm around 400/tank average. 29mpg city, 35ish highway.

Cheapest gas (87 octane), 2.3

93 Gas, new plugs(NGK Iridium IX), plug wires, optima yellow top, timing belt, Mobile1 Delvac and intake

JORTS

rage, i have a 98 2.3 CL and i get 300 in the city average, and i have gotten 400 once and that was 100% highway

i dont drive hard either, have you had a tune up lately?

endlessdragon

3.0 CL...i get 420km/tank in the city (cruising at roughly 80km/h about 90% of the time) on 87 octane...that's about 23-24 mpg

*BAY*CL

Alright well recently I noticed that I could hear noise coming from the gas tank I could hear the gas moving around, I usually wouldn't notice because I'd have tha music on but recently I've been hearing it.....is that even normal because you usually don't hear that in other cars...... Yeah prolly sounds like I'm paranoid about my car but I'm just curious

'98 3.0 here - using 87 octane

Drive mostly highway(about 40-60 miles daily), but rush hour stop and go traffic (New York) in the evenings kills gas mileage. I recently got a full tune up. I used to average 17-19mpg before the tune-up, now I'm getting 22-24. Tune up helps alot!

1998 3.0 87 Octane - just got back from a trip to Atlantic city, and i was VERY happy to see that i was getting about 400 miles per tank. I didn't expect that at all. of course thats all highway miles and i accelerate easy, i see no need to race to the next stop light.

I get ~25 mp/g city & freeway. I fill up at about after 320miles. Don't know how many gallons the tank can hold. 97 2.2 Auto CL
