Hey i just wanted to know how mych ya get from the car. I put a full tank and the most i can get is 160 miles from a full tank. and im driving slow, not speeding as much and its a automatic what givess, i know people with verts gettng 300 miles.



1987 GXL, no porting or engine mods, just intakejason NYC

Holy ****. I was gitting around 275 a tank with my big SP engine, and the stock ecu never going into closed loop mode. Ill get back to you in a few weeks with results now that Ive got a standalone, and closed loop cruise. Im expecting around 350 a tank.

Since this is in GEN D im proud to say my jetta gets 53mpg or 650miles+ to a tank.

stop and go with the ac on I get 20mpg



I have gotten as high as 25mpg or so

Best I got was just about 400 miles out of one tank. This consisted of 75mph highway driving down to Virgina quite a few times. Got the same with the T2 and n/a.

One thing to check on your FC is that the gas guage is reading accuratly. When I got my TII I filled it up and drove around till it read empty and was like WTF?!?!? I only got like 190miles to that tank. When I filled it up it only took 12 gallons and its a 16.6 gallon tank............so your gas gauge might not be very accurate. Once mine hits below the last markof the gauge I can get another 90 miles or so out of it.



To answer you other question I get about 19-21 mpg on an 87 TII with DP and catback, 7lbs of boost

Stop and go with no ac i think i get 17 mph. Highway, no AC, super fuel conservation mode at 120 kph i got around 27 mph.



7 hours at shannonville track i burned off two complete tanks of gas. So i think i got like 5 mph maybe?

around town i get 14-16mpg, and on the freeway its about 18-20mpg, this is with the 20b. if i put my foot down its like 6-7mpg though

the most i filled up my tank was 13 gallons but eh car had al il bit inside left so im assuming the 2 gallons reserve and the 1 gallon it waas showing i dont think my gas guage is wrong. SO WHY THE LOW GAS MILEAGE? can anyone tell me how to check it out to see why its burning so much

bad plugs? low idle, stop and go i know is one of them

Help

In your vert? So stock fuel control?

Am I the only person who regularly puts 16 gallons in my FC?



FYI, the low fuel light comes on with 2 gal usable left, and the S5 tank has 1 gal unusable.

what can be giving me so much bad feul mileage, wheni got my inspection done my hydrocarbons were very very high, is that the prob, is theere something wrong witht e car that its getting more hydrocarbon deposits, i had to unflood my car twice already, the plugs were gouled, i had to buy new ones t hat i just threwo n , its idling better, and feels less rough..



Help

vacuum leaks? o2 sensor? tps?

no definite answwer, if it was one of those problems bsides the vacumm leak then wouldnt the check engine light come on?





No one has this terrible gas mileage wtf

When I first got my car, I was driving it like I stole it, and I got about 12 MpG. Since I have gotten up to about 18-20 just from a change in driving style.

Driving style and number of cold starts / warm-up cycles seem to affect the MPG I get out of my streetported 87 base. I average 20.

i went over to nicks house, APEX13B to help sell his car to mah boy , and upon inspection nick said that the thingy that opens the 6 ports after u hit 4k or so was stuck open, i guess thats teh problem why my **** is terrible, i just filled up my gas tank last night and filled it up half way, and from 1/2 of the 1/2 tank i got 60 miles so if this continues then im getting 120 miles per half tank and 240 for full tank which isnt bad, i changed teh plugs yesterday, cause they kept getting fouled up, and if im running rich how can i change that to get it just right?





jason
