12 MPG in a stock N/A means 2 things:
1- can't calculate MPG, 2- engine needs work (tune-up), running rich can cause mileage to go down, but not from the normall 22 highway to 12 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...closedeyes.gif |
When I bought my car I was looking for 18-25 MPG. The only things I have done to the car are replace the plugs, some of the fluids, and put on a cone filter. I use 5th gear and dont race much so that isnt it. Ill try the injectors and the O2 sensor and see if that helps. Thanks.

For what its worth, I was getting around 22 mpg highway when i had just a cone filter. After full exhaust and a few other mods, it went into the 25-28 mpg range.

It wont restart about 15 mins after I shut it off. (I think thats flooding) That might be evidence that its the injectors.
It also gives out a small white puff of smoke when I start it. I know that there is a very small leak in the coolant seal, causing it to slowly lose coolant. Im planning on rebuilding the engine next summer to fix that. Also there is a very slight hesitation around 3500-3800 RPM if it isnt fully warm yet. I dont notice any hesitation after 3-4 miles. Other than these things the engine runs pretty good, not really powerful but its better than my old truck. Hope this helps. |
