so my gas mileage keeps getting worse and my exhaust smells terrible. I have a little over 1/4 of a tank left and i've driven 95 miles. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif



i'm guessing old leaking fuel injectors? when its cold, my car has major problems starting up (hesitation until it gets warm, likes to stall out, i usually just let it idle for like a minute or so)



any suggestions?

over the christmas break my mechanic hooked my car up to a computer and said he didn't pick up any problems with the sensors.



every time i'm around people, they know i've been in my car because i smell like gas, and its not from any beans i had the night before.



what is WTO?

WOT=Wide Open Throttle, in other words "do you have the need for speed"

dude, my car is doing the same ****. all ecu codes check out ok, minus the emissions that have been removed. im not easy on the throttle, but 5 mpg is pretty ridiculous. compression is good and all that business. i dont know what the deal is.

if you constantly are beating on the car, I can see getting 5-8 mpg.

evilT2 03-18-2003 08:37 PM

rob, that sig is lame as hell. i manage about 12mpg on the highway, thats at cruising speed. (read ~70, not 120)

You people are not looking at the obvious...



you have a modified turbocharged car...they all get **** gas mileage, pistons or no pistons

Mine gets great mileage considering it runs rich enough to toss a flame out every time it goes over 4k. I get 23mpg highway, and at worst 14.5 mpg if I'm taking it to redline off every 9/10 lights.
