Another happy fill up

ScratchNSniff said:
I don't see how you guys are getting such low mileage...mid to high 20's...I guess it must be cause you all are modded or higher mileage...I am a little over 50000 miles on my 2003, and I am getting close to 34 MPG (33.86) city delivering pizzas...I fill up usually three times a week...

stick or auto? That makes a huge difference. I assuem your stick due to high mpg.
 
Jeez what altitude are you guys at. I am at 6500ft getting about 25mpg sometimes as low as 21.

Edit: Lots of mods but they are all N/A. I guess I need to seriously look at this P5's air/fuel since "tricking" the second o2 sensor. Would a stand alone system pay for itself lol?

I avg 25 mpg or so with sport auto & leadish foot. Could & will probably get a few more by toning down the foot action.
 
I have a manual, and it's pretty much all stock too

but I drive like a get away driver. (bang) I think when I drove to Cali last year I did about 100-ish almost the whole way.
 
its funny, i do 32MPG boosting 10 psi and with the overly rich msp ECU

hmm, i gues i'm not that bad
i've even done about 420 miles to the tank when i take it easy on the pedal
 
When I filled up last, my odometor was at 431 miles for a tank...took 12.9 gallons to fill up...I was EMPTY...so that was 33.41 MPG...
 
dam, i thought i got alot out of my car when i got 350 the other day
and that was driving extremely slow, with all city traffic and no highway

kinda good i guess
 
WTF!! are u stock or why are u getting 100 miles more per fill up?
and i just changed the oil, and i use the fuel injector cleaner stuff frequently

so wwwwtttffffff!

i put this tank of gas in my pro5 about 3 weeks ago and i still have almost half of it left. the car almost never gets driven to the point that i almost need to put in a fuel stabilizer in the tank to keep the gas from going bad. the general trips that it takes are from my house to my step-daughter's school twice a day (1 mile daily-5 days a week). all of the miles are city obviously.

Miles: 142.8
Gallons: 11 gallons
MPG: 13 mpg
Octane: 93
Cost/Gallon: $3.55
Cost/Fill: $39.05
Cost/Mile: $.27

this wasn't a full tank of gas, but was still fully depressing. i still sacrifice the expense for the joy of driving the car. i drive this car up to 7 days a week and about 2.5 miles a day.
 
The most I have gotten out of a tank milage wise was liek 315 and i beliave I was driving with the light on for awhile. I think I did 27mpg on that take.
 
My P5 is a 5 speed stock other than my air box is modified,every thing removed before the air box. I also dropped it with HP blues which makes no difference on MPG. I am running 10w30 synthetic oil and my trany has synthetic. I know our fuel is better than the northern states winter fuel.I also have been driving the speed limit every where I go. I drive 19 miles to work my first 9 are all city my next 8 are 50 mph than my last 2 are city.
