Welcome To The Club, Removing The Cats Helped My Freeway Mileage But I Cant Keep My Foot Of The Gas In The City, So I Dont Really Know If It Helps City.

deadRX7Conv

Don't feel bad. I go about 200 miles on half a tank and 50 on the other. Gauge/sender is as good as the other dash gauges.

I also never bother with shortening the fill up. I either fill it up all the way or I don't bother unless I forget my wallet and use the ashtray & under floormat spare change. Partial fillups do not equate to accurate mileage guestimates.

Thaniel

Yup. You won't really know what your gas milage is until you really check it. Watching the guage isn't accurate enough. Make sure the car is running right and doesn't leak any fuel if the gas milage is poor. (I get 21 city/country with redlining it).

I can't remember when I didn't fill a car to the top a the gas station. Gotta be years and years.

I got 20 city/29 hwy in my first 86 Base. I think one time I got like 31. It was cold out (requiring no A/C) and a long trip.

Never saw over 20 in my street-ported 86.

And I too almost always fill up when I get gas, so I can keep track of mileage. A downward trend in mileage in the same operating conditions is a good indicator of low compression (before it gets to be hard to start).

i get 17mpg city in my t2. never taken it on the highway though. i was getting 9mpg when i first got the car though.

Amur_

I get 300 kms in-town (bombing around delivering pizza - lead foot Big Time) and 600kms highway out of a full tank (63 litres.) Do your own conversion.

Pinfield357

i get 10 during "city" driving i live in a rural area so that not real city driving but i was out on the high way getting around 21 MPG

oh yeah i got an 87 t2 that is almost always in the boost

13bpower

I get 22 mpg. 280-330 miles to the tank. I also fill up all the way or nothing at all.

seventhgear

3K MILES ON REBUILD and i dont know whatz up i havent calculated the mpg yet but i will
maybe its all in my head bout this mpg thing maybe im getting good gas mileage who knows

I get real crappy mileage because 80% of my driving ends up being stop n' go to and from school. I usually can pull about 220 miles out of a tank in my 91 NA

FC3S Drift

i hear ya man...that school traffic can be a real pain in the a$$...i remember in my FB i used to fill my tank a $5 a week...just to get me to school and back...i thought that was bad....until i got my FC...then gas started burning up like crazy...i think i get around 22mpg...but it usually depends on how heavy my foot wants to be

oh and zelgadiss-san...what part of jax are you in?

rx-7s rock

I get 22 city. 350 miles to the tank the last time I checked. That was a month ago. It's not too bad of gas mileage.

zelgadiss-san

I live in riverside, over behind kent campus. I've seen a white 7 (didn't see if it was an s4 or s5) drive past me down park when I was on pinegrove, then yesterday I saw a white s4 turn left onto timiquana from the NAS side.

btw, by stop n' go, I mean the 10-95 merger ^_~

FC3S Drift

ew...oh there..hah..the only other stop and go i usually get in is whenever i drive in orange park...

oh and i live by regency...

The Ace

sorry, cannt stop laughing....as soon as I realized my TII's consumption, and came to terms with it, I just dont mind the mileage....I just pay attention to the little light and get gas whenever I need to

SaabGuy

Last time I checked I got 20 mpg combo city highway in my t2 with 148k miles on the motor. Thats 94 sonoco

jsotelo

Just filled up, went 18 miles to my girlfriends house and then toped it off. I used .754 gallons in 18 miles and 16 of that was freeway so I would say I get about 20 MPG... IMO that's horrible and if the 7 wasn't so much fun to drive I would not want to drive it as much ;-)

87 base

zelgadiss-san

I don't think I've ever waited for the light to go on. I guess I just don't trust it to last the drive home. I usually fill up when I ave 1/8 of a tank left.

SteveO

I get 35 MPG

Well, it's what you get when you have a CIVIC! 35 city / 40 hwy

I live in Jax too, but can't find a job / car to buy! (I want a 2nd gen Rx7), but where can I buy a new engine for one?

seventhgear

there are alot of places to buy "new " engines
atkins rotary , pineapple racing,etc. cheaper route would be rebuilding what u have .
