I have a question, on average how many miles to the tank are you getting? How many miles to the gallon, and how big is our gas tanks. Thanks.

Best I've made is 5,9 litres / 100 km. A20A4, PGM-FI, standard without catalystic converter.

EDIT: I think to remember i got as far as 700 kilometres before the yellow fuel-light lit up.

That's really good. Is that highway or city driving?

Some city, and mostly highway. In the summer, I get between 450-500 to the tank, although then it is all highway.

Yes, I get around 380 per tank. I don't go to the light either. I think that on average it's somwhere around 33 mpg. That's about 1/2 freeway driving. I can easily go to 200 before I hit half tank.

Wow, what's your average speed onthe highway? I get close to 400 miles a tank on the freeway. Average, depending on drivestyle, 25-35 MPG. I've been a little heavy on the foot lately, (70-80 freeway driving), so I've been averageing in the 25 range.

Just today I hit 400 and the light isn't on yet. I don't know why someone would be getting 250 per tank

Is that all you did? That's a huge improvement from the 190 mi/tank you had before. Maybe I should give that a try.

Hey guys. Just got home from tooling around Seattle area with my old man for the last couple of days. showing him around the area. Right now I'm at 442 miles on one tank and i've got more gas left, who know's how much, but i've got some left. :)

AND It's with my leaky carb!

I just fixed my ignition timing and went for a long drive today. So far I've gone 180 km (112 mi) and I've still got over ¾ of a tank left. That's also with my car idling for a while this morning when I was fixing my timing.
