27mpg 93Festy :( Whats wrong?

Dude do you seriously smoke a quarter pound of weed every few days?

[DankBuds420]

No between me and my girlfriend smoke a quarter zip...in a few days.

[bhazard]

I don't know all them fancy stoner terms...sorry

[TominMO]

If you are driving only uphill, that will hurt mileage too.

Alright well I wont run it dry anymore, I figured since there was a little gas in there it was enough. And right now I dont have enough money to fill it up. Im getting paid this Friday but other things get in the way of filling up my tank. I could be putting 5-20 bucks in but I was just trying to get some consistent mpg numbers. And I do sell plenty of dank buds but Im getting fronted by my guy and I smoke for free, basically a quad every few days. I guess I could stop smoking and make 130 bucks every few days instead but it helps me more than the extra money would.
So basically the people that are trying to help me, thanks I really appreciate it.
I do have a plug in coming from my engine, obviously the block heater. So maybe Ill try that over night or a few hours before I start my car. Its been about 5-20 degrees here in the last week or so, which has been the only time Ive been able to drive my car. So I guess it could be, cold weather, some kind of coolant temp issue, maybe exhaust leaking?, all that adds up to a loss of about 10-13 mpg...maybe.

ask a mod for access to the arena , we can talk about dank buds all damn day in there. well get in trouble out here.

I have noticed when my ball joints get bad, it affects alignment, causing lower mileage. Check your Tire wear.

[DankBuds420]

Alright cool thanks fattie. And Im pretty sure Im not drivin uphill all the time. I checked that all of my tire pressure was even, the rear tires were a little low. So hopefully that helps out some. I ran some seafoam thru a tank of gas and advanced the timing. Ill be filling up on Friday and should know how my mileage is by monday. Thanks everyone.

I haven't noticed any mention of doing a basic tuneup: plugs, wires, cap and rotor.

[Occhty]

Another thing to consider is tire size. In my area 12's are only available in 155/70/12. Running this size drops my mileage to around 30 mpg.

Dank.....go to the control panel and add your location. I'm sure there are members here that are close to you and can help you. (plus it one of the rules) I will meet up with you in the arena, how dank is it? :p

[Pu241]

(plus it one of the rules)

Really Dan, which rule would that be?

[DankBuds420]

I guess Ill have to do a full tuneup too. I got slightly higher when I filled up a few times, averaged 31 mpg this time. Maybe get the timing just right and fix up the exhaust and the tune up.

[DankBuds420]

33mpg. damn wtf is goin on im drivin like a grandma

[FestYboy]

tune up, propper timing (0* BTDC as per manual, but i found that 6-8* BTDC with 89-91 oct produced better results), REPLACE o2 sensor with a new Denso unit, new airfilter, may want to unrestrict the cat a little (a 1.5" pipe does wonders). replace the coil for a higher output unit, add a secondary engine ground to the body.

address draging brakes, properly inflate tires, clean the car out of un-needed junk...

[Darlo]

You are going in the right direction!

Yeah I dont know, the worst I ever have gotten was 41.8mpg in the winter with studded tires and cold temps! :p
