with my 12A i used to get about 20 in town and about 30 on the highway, now with the 13B I get about 10 in town or highway, hopefully the fuel injection will help that a bit

lets see the tank is about 16 gallons, correct. now divide an average of 185 miles(per tankful) by 16 = ~11.5.

havent used the car in say 8 months at 20 bucks a week, so that ~32 * 20 = 640(ive saved since my car has been outta commission) would have rather spent twice as much and being able to drive my car, than not driving at all.

hopefully my, whatever kinda porting i did falls into, will get around the same mileage. lol



ouch $$$...see my thread and compare....

I've been getting about 15 in my TII. Haven't driven it much this winter, so I don't know if my mods have had an effect on mileage. I do know it's faster now, so I presume it's also thirstier!



Sorry, not a first gen, but FYI.

8.5 miles to the gallon on my FD mostly around town normal driving, around 5 mpg if I'm railing the piss out of it... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png 4460cc's worth of injectors dump a lot of fuel at 1.3 bar and 90% at 50psi fuel pressure with twin walboro pumps.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I had a calculated 4mpg on my old 85 GS https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/blackeye.gif, but of course that was before I rebuilt the carb https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Funny how it actually idled after the carb rebuild https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png. If I remember right it got about 20mpg going to school and back (7mile trip)

Red12aRx7 01-21-2003 05:24 PM

I get about 16 on the highway maybe 12 in town.

I think I am getting a crx beater for this summer. Don't make that much to drive it to work everyday. So I will take it out when I go out at night.
