When you're empty and you fill back up is it taking around 16 gallons?

I get around 25mpg in the city with one hell of a lead foot.

i dont know when was the last time ig ot the tune up its problem been a while
but like its really sluggish up hills i can get more then 20 -30 mph
in my white accord i get like 30 miles to the gallon if i drive like a regular person and just have a heavy foot through 1 2 and 3 then i can go a whole payperiod (two week) with out filling up so what the hell?
also i think there is a leak in my exhust from the muffler cause it smells like exhust fumes when the windows are up and you get really dizzy(shit imma get flammed for that )

I think you need a tune up. Is this EFI or carb?

My 3gee was getting shitty gas milage and acting really sluggish on hills and then my clutch went out.
replaced my clutch and the MPG's went back to normal (around 23MPG city)

Since i have a carb, driving at 2500rpm idle is no fun. So gas goes there, plus i take short trips to school. The trip is max 15 minutes, and i do about 12 miles a day.


P.S. I have some what of a heavy foot.

Either your sending unit is inaccurate or you do not have a 16 gallon tank.

i beleave it is wrong
because i filled it up (i know cuz the gas spilt all over my pants and overflowed out the tank lol)
and it was off by a couple gallons i was on e and i filled her up and it was 9 gallons so yea

Top your tank off completely and reset your trip meter. Then after 200 or so miles top it off again. Divide what your trip says by what you just put in your tank and I bet your mpg is a least a little better than 10.

i do it this way, i top off my tank, set my trip odo, then drive until just about E, somtimes on gas light, then fill it and top off again, then divide the trip odo miles by the gallons it took to fill the tank again=mpg. Ive gone over 500miles on a tank in my 95LX

05-01-2007, 04:56 PM
umm math isnt funn at all
and the gas gauge is wrong by a couple galons and i will always get horriable
milage till i get some cash for that tune up i need 70 bucks for it lol
today or tommerow ill start a todo list
and prices.
i think the gas is being diluted its soo fucking high its crazy its 3 bucks for the cheap stuff and 319 for the good stuff that i put in
but for some reason today i drove 60 miles and im still above the half tank mark so yea i if i had money to go drive 150 miles then i would but i cant sorry

Something ain't right is sounds like.

My carbed automatic sedan gets a pretty conisistant 29 mpg and that is not babying it either. And the car is really not tuned in perfect, it needs different jets, and tweaking.
