Why do we have these threads every couple of weeks? It's not like our gas mileage is getting any better, lol...Just do a search for one from '02, same numbers will be there...

lol, so true.

yeah, the thing with these cars as a few people have mentioned is that it is hard to resist just giving it a good amount of throttle. i mean, i didn't by this car to save gas and putter around....that's what my civic is for

16-19..... city/highway

i hate you guys =P
well, ok, TII =P

hey, a redline a day keeps the rebuild away

ok ok... yeah, and that greddy does not help (well u know what though... it actually did..... my stock turbo, with pre-cat air pump... i was getting like 14-16) but after i swapped (still 1200 idle... 2 extra secondary injectors on when boost, no air pump, no ACV, no pre-cat.... GETTING BETTER MPG) weird huh?

Only had it a month - '88 na vert. One run to San Diego, all freeway - 240 miles & it was below 1/4 tank when I fueled up. - 22.3 mpg. But - around town - maybe 15. Wierd though, I only filled 10.6 gal to FULL??? I thought it had a 18 gal. tank...
That last 1/4 tank must be DEEP

Lol, it is, on mine when the gauge reads 1/4, I've visually verified almost a half-tank of gas. I guess Mazda doesn't want you to run out...

Mine isn't quite that bad, but my guage is below empty now, and I just popped the tank open to clean the pump sock and it has at least a 1/4 in there still. I just go by teh gas light, it's always been accurate.
