hey guys my 94 teg has 171km im getting bad gas milage around 420km mixed with highway and local. what are u guys getting full tank? is there anything i need to change to improve? i already changed fuel filter, spark plugs, air filter seems clean and i already sea foamed my engine!

Also my rpm on the highway at 100km is at 3 rpm is that normal? what is ur tegs at?

 

That's about right, lol.

With my summers I get just shy of 500 usually. Less the more "spirited driving" I do.

As for the 3k rpm, yeah that's right also.

 

I remember when i got 500, and the light went on. WOOOT.

Check how you drive. and everytime you fill up to max reset the Tripometer. 420 sounds about decent.

and as for the RPM, sounds like you got an LS tranny. 3k is right about right, its a long *** gear and it saves you gas on the highway. Enjoy it

 

yeah man that sounds about right, i usually hit around 470 with mixed highway and city driving. the biggest effect on MPG is your driving style, everything else is minor compared to that lol.

revving at 3k isn't that bad, its more the constant accelerating and decelerating then accelerating that'll kill gas mileage WAY more than sitting constant at 3k. so don't tailgate, and problem solved lol.

just be happy you don't have my B16 cable transmission on my winter DA that revs at like 3700 at 100 km/h haha.

 

wtf? am i missing out or something..i get 315 a tank if im lucky...97 auto integra, rev to about 3-4k off a redlight usually.
changed sparkplugs and air filter recently
wtf

 

Yea thats fucked up. I got 450 + and my car has 293xxx kms, its also auto

Change your fuel filter.

 

3000 RPM's is high for only doing 100 km's. You should be doing like 120 around 3000 RPM's. At 100 km's I'm doing 3000 and I have a short gear transmission (GS-R)

As for fuel milage, you should be able to get around 500 to a tank. It very well come be how you drive, because if your harder on the gas when taking off, you will use more gas. I get around 400 km's to a tank, and that's because of my transmission and i'm a little harder on the gas when taking off, and my car has 363,XXX km's on it.

 

does the fuel filter do a lot to gas mileage? im pretty pissed atm because im already broke and gas is always up my ***..and knowing that i should be getting more mileage out of it is messed up

 

Check the fuel filter, or better yet, get a new one if you dont know when it was replaced.

also your gas lines could be naaasty and even when you put a new filter it'll clog it or dirty it right back up.

You can take it to a shop to clean it out , its like a flush.

 

yea im gonan get that fuel filter checked out. what else is there that can be sucking up to 150 km from my ------- tank?

 

What size rims you have, it the aftermarket rims way more. Body kits, sound system.

 

14 inch stock rims, no body kit and stuff, but i have subs in the back. 2 infinity 10's. other than the its bone stock, just an intake

 

I have 2 12's. still got over 450.

You'll see what I mean about the filter. When your mechanic takes out the filter and all this black ---- comes out with the gas. ughgh, nasty.

Also, what gas do you put in? what octane?

 

i'll be doing the filter myself, but yea i hope thats the problem.
and i put in 87 gas, its an RS so thats all it needs. ill have an update tomm, gonna grab a new filter from a local parts store.
thx guys..being 17, paying $250 insurance + repairs on a car with over 307,000 KM + gas is a shitload. hopefully it'll all work out

 

the best i've done with my new motor is 375km. i get 4000rpm @ 120km/h. i miss my LS 5th gear

 

i get around 350+ no highway driving what so ever and i do like to floor it most of the time to hear my intake roar..

 

full tank gets me at least 500km a tank, and thats redlining it but im about 70% highway, a couple of fill ups ago i got 595km to be exact before i filled, my goal is to crack the 600 mark. Im at 250km on my motor with an intake, full greddy exhaust and full synthetic oil changes every 4k.

 

[QUOTE=Buff4Prez Yo;312273i miss my LS 5th gear[/QUOTE]

I know how you feel. I have my old LS tranny that I want to rip 5th gear out of before I sell it.

 

Okay ive got it changed out. the bolts were all tight as hell so im guessing it's been a while. I wanna pop this thing open and see whats inside. It's been sitting in the garage for a day..whats the easiest way of popping it open? is it all one piece?

 

meh nvm. hammer + flathead. just got random bits of powder comming out and pieces of the filter. I was hoping for some massive sludge or ----

 

Where are you paying $250 a month for insurance? I'm getting quoted upwards of 500$+ a month.. hook a brother up.

 

insurancehotline.com

waaaaay cheaper rates that kanetix

 

plus, i have a fake driver's training certificate, 2 years insurance history, and a G license with no tickets. and im secondary driver; parents are primary

 

this has been answered so many times...

On my old b18b1 the most i ever got was 580 and it was no where close to empty but i had to stop to get some gas since i was in the middle of no where.

My current b18c im lucky if i get 350-375 least i ever got was 305 just sucks since it only takes 91 octane...and 130km/h is like 4,500 rpm.

 

hi i got a 97 gsr and i to get around 370-390km to a tank and at 120km its like a little under 4000rpm

 

Damn youre overpaying. LOL

I have my G2, driving for one year, no driving school....im paying 60 a month for secondary driver...well thats on the corolla, if I was secondary to the teg It would be 90. suuuuucks

 

Lets not get on topics of insurance cuz there will be much back and fourth with-it like it always is lol.

INSURANCE = Scam and let's leave it at that.

 

A little update: Car went 360 km on this tank, up for 315 last time. and i've revved it pretty high during the past few days..$15 fuel filter helps!

 

thats great news that it helpped man.

 

Theres something you can do at mr lube for example, and if anything you can try it yourself. Its pretty much a "flush" to clean out the crap out of your gas tank and lines. Cuse given time, that fuel filter will get dirty again because its being fed the same crap that was in your lines and tank. Take a look around and see prices on it, or if you really need it. Cuse Im sure with it, you'll be reaching 440 + kms on a tank. So it'll pretty much pay itself after a few fill ups

But good to know the Fuel filter helped. Keep us updated

 

i have an auto and getting about 450km on it now. during the winter it was worst but it seems like when it's warmer i'm gettin better mileage. driving 100kmh your rpm should be reading 2500. I also pour fuel injector cleaner in my gas tank every 3000km.

 

LOL funny you should mention that. My buddy WORKS at a mr lube and hes been telling me he's gonna run this injector cleaner through my system in a few days for free

 

The injector cleaner helps, but you don't need to do it every oil change, that's a little extreme I most say.

I've used it in my teg, and I never really saw any improvements in fuel milage.

 

I use them 4 dollar ones you get from CT. Not the actually ones they do at the shops.

 

do u know the name of the brand?

 

The good ones are from Lucas, but they are like $7-$9 each depends on where you go tho.

 

ya thats it
thats what my friend told me to use
