  • MPG

    I filled up 'Tiva yesterday, the first since replacein' the O2 sensor. MPG went up to 29.8, best yet! Next I'll "mod" my Cat., hope that will bring more improvement. I do tend to hot rod a little,& know if I mod. my driving style it will get a lot better. Never gonna happen, set in my ways .
    If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

          Dude is that with an auto or 5 speed?

          Seriously, I could beat the crap out of my b3 and get no less than 40 mpg. I averaged 47 and my best was 53.

            With the coming of winter-blend gasoline, my mpg on my carbureted '88 4 speed manual trannie was dropping from 44mpg to 40mpg & occasionally even lower. Filled with 5 gallons of ethanol-free gasoline, I went on a pleasure trip on back-country roads, obtaining 47mpg. I figured the winter-blend would have gotten ~44mpg. Next tank of 8 gallons of ethanol-free, Festiva obtained 58mpg! MAYBE, the fuel hose clicked off early, but I think I topped up well. We'll see on the next tank of ethanol-free to see if my mpg really has jumped up.

              Falling mpg.

              On the way to the Fall Ohio meet i was getting 39 hwy @ 65
              the next tank 40, so i put a whole can of see foam in, ya i think i over dosed it, i filled the tank yesterday and the mpg is now down to 31.8, i would say it's time for a new o2 sensor.

                Whether I drive mine like a grandmother or mash it at every light, I average 40 mpg. My worst tank was 36.

                    I think my worst tank was 41mpg (I think) My best is 52mpg........

                    My average is 46.4mpg.......... And it does matter how I drive........ The biggest thing is winter tires and winter weather and rain.....

                          I drive all highway and get 53 mpg on every tank. Think I'm going to take out some tools form the back to see if I can get 54.
