how much do you guys get around town? mine seems like it sucks! i'll get maybe 175-200 miles to a tank. what can i do to improve it?

 

Full tuneup including the O2 sensor, and maybe even injector cleaning.

 

btt

 

Mileage that poor does suggest either poor driving habits or a bad need of a major tune up (as suggested above) or a combination of both.

 

so what would the normal mpg be?

 

most people average 15-17 MPG around town in stock FCs.

At best he is averaging probably around 13 MPG in a stock FC

 

10 mpg in mine (wtf?!) Granted it has a Haltech and a 60-1, but the AFR is perfect across the board (any ideas guys...?)

Takes fuel to make power.

I get around 20 jackrabbiting light to light. I get high 20's on th freeway and if I stay out of it I can hit 30mpg.

 

Thats pretty damm good for a ported motor jimmy

 

I was VERY careful with my exhaust duration and initial opening point on my intake ports for that exact reason. Overlap is very minimal on my motor.

My all time horseshit mileage was 220mi /16 gal = 13ish mpg. That was absolutely hammering the car on every launch and keeping it floored for most of its running.

If I'm not seeing 340mi out of a full tank in town, I wonder whats up.
