  • Really bad gas mileage

    Ran out of gas with 253.9 miles on the trip odometer, which was reset when I put in almost 10 gallons a week ago. So, doing the math I got 25 miles to the gallon????

    This is ridiculous.



    Regards,

    I get about 28. I'm a fat dude with a shitload of tools in the car and an auto in shitty Cleveland rush hour traffic, though. Check your o2 sensor.

            I think I replaced the fuel filter some time ago. I don't usually drive like a madman; I usually shift at 2500 rpms.

                Sudden.

                I fixed the A/C but I don't remember mileage being that bad...

                A few weeks ago I got 36 mpg on a long trip around Houston

                    About 850-1000 RPMs (varies depending on loads on the engine)
