I used to get 400 miles to a tank, I think that changed around the time I changed my spark plugs so I will have to look into that, and I cant give an accurate MPG because I'm in Canada ( our gallon is different from the American one by a bit)

 

I have now officially hit my all time low for gas mileage... i got 14.11. I'm going to take it easy now

 

Something has got to be wrong, that is reallly low

 

Nothing is wrong, i have gotten 22mpg with it before. I got 14 because i was driving really fast this week, which im going to now tone down on

 

like i have been saying ALL ALONG
BTW: check your spelling on really


don't worry i suck at spelling too...

 

Haha well that is a different story, 14mpg makes for a fun week/couple days though!

 

true

 

lol...with 90% hwy @ 70-80 got me 360...that was the most I ever got...grated, I got the car used @ 135000...so I don't know how the previous owner treated it...should be changing out sparks and all the fluids...and then see what happens...

I'm getting around 17-19 as of now.

 

i get like 23-25 like every tank and have f***ing altittude (mile high/5280')(kills the power it can make) and MOUNTIONS (but some fun twisties) to deal with

 

Thats way more than I have seen in the past year on my car and I live about same height with a slightly crazier climate.

 

is it 1.201 US fl gal to 1 gallon (is it imperial gallon)

 

Haha two L's was not enough friesm2000 and speaking of spelling ~cough~MOUNTIONS~cough~ haha

 

Ok I'll keep that number with me for the next time I fill up.

 

seeing if you would catch my spelling
also are't you in kilometers not miles
cause 1 Kilometer = 0.62137119224 Miles

 

colder and alot more snow maybe but not crazier for us to be like 20F with snow degrees one day then 60F being sunny then snow again two days later is perfectly normal for us

 

Ya I would be in km's but I brought my car back from the states, and let me tell you crazy( but in celcius) 2 weeks ago we broke a record at 34 last night it snowed 4 inches and got down to -10 by Saturday it's supposed to be back around +15, by the sounds of it we both have crazy climates!

 

93.2F to 14F degrees ;too hot in that you sweat just standing there then too cold cause you be all shriveled up and proably like 100% humidity where we get like 20% humidity on average
yeah we were only 70 at the begining of the month with a low of 18 on the 10th, but we have had a very mild summer with alot of rain
btw: luckily they did a duel scale on the speedo (mph and kph) couple of years ago i help a friend switch out a kph speedo to mph on like a 92 integra (still a mechanical speedo)
crazy climates... yeah!!! shorts and t shirt during the day with pants and a jacket at night. annoying...

 

Lol. Yup. I love this car for the gas mileage, and how it brings a smile to my face every time I decide to get on it.

Maybe as an experiment I should take it easy on a tank.

Maybe

 

hahaha just maybe, the only problem with that experiment is that it wouldn't be fun, just cheaper haha.

 

Yup.

Ive got about 180 miles on this tank and used about 3/8 so far. Ive got more work to take care of today, so Ill be adding another 100 miles or so to it.

 

Geeeeze, if you dont mind me asking, what do you do that requires that much driving?

 

I'm getting about 18.7mpg, not driving hard all the time but not driving nicely either.

 

I transport....ummmmm.......goods





Seriously though, I work for a major computer company and I work at basically every place that has a contract with them, from Baltimore to NC, and Roanoke to Virginia Beach.

 

i knoe man this kinda sucks having the gas used up so fast

 

Its not the gas being used up, its the mileage being racked up. I average about 40k miles a year.

 

god damn that is alot, i be lucky if i get 15k a year

 

more like unlucky lol I try to keep the miles low in the CL, I go about 12k miles per year.

 

Bastards with your low mileage CLs.

When I got my CL in August of 08 I thought it was low mileage; it only had 56k on it.

Now Im about to break 100k

 

don't have a cl but just bought a 03 tl-s with 100k last month (have maintence records back to 7K miles, so i know it's history)(i've personally worked on the car since 2005)(it was a customer's car), so your milage isn't crazy
the car will easily get in to the 250K plus range as long you take care of it (except for the p.o.s. auto tranny if you had an auto)

 

Nope 6MT all the way.

Ive got compression issues right now, but at 105k its getting TONS of work.

 

What are you going to do to deal with the compression issues? Do you know what's causing it?

 

Full rebuild. I want a 3.5l anyway.

Possibly the rings, as I burn oil (almost a quart every 5k )

 

that's not much subaru allows a quart per 1,000 miles

 

Lols.

Im down on power and my valves are ticking. I need to replace the clutch then too so I figured while the engine is out why not just build it?

 

just saying that's not much but it's a good excuse to do the 3.5 stroker (might just be that you need a valve adjust)
btw: why not the 3.6 stroker (3.7 crank with your pistons)

 

Thats a possibility too, I havent decided.

 

with custom turbo (only needs to be a little boost like 10 psi max)

 

Lol. Thats pushing it now. Maybe supercharger down the line but I like NA.


I have a knack for taking threads wildly off topic.





Im proud of that.

 

im about to do my 105k in the next month or so. Im at 103k now.

 

Nice. Im at 99,6xx, lets see if I can beat you
