Gas Consumption

Racegod · Postby **Racegod** » December 3rd, 2009, 9:23 am

So i'm wondering if something is wrong wid mih 13 cuz i was talking to mih pardna who say that my consumption real bad....

So my B13 is de GA15 Carb engine...
Maintained by mihself...

with a full tank driving highway mostly... i cud do up to 350k...
with 3/4 tank with similiar driving... i cud do about 250 to 275k...

So what kinda mileage you all getting?

What tricks do you all have to getting better mileage, or maintain ur engine, etc?

Kev somethingis terribly wrong with your car. You should be getting closer to 500.
Age of the engine and an inefficient carb may be the cause. If you plan to keep the car maybe the 3k swap for the B14 Ga15 is not a bad idea.

I have a B12 with GA15DE engine. I get about 35km with $90 super - A/C on and 120-140km/h average highway speed.
Without A/C and heavy foot, i get about 450-500km for same amount of gas

what u should do mit take it to a real mechanic and let him service your carb and change the seals and jets and then setit up correctly once he tune your air gas mixture i think your car will burn a lot better. your carb probably all gummed up

it used to be very cheap to service a carb

Racegod · Postby **Racegod** » December 3rd, 2009, 3:28 pm

hong kong phooey,

did that already too...

went edinberg... i doubt they tuned the air/gas mixture tho...

somebody recommend ah good carb man den nuh?

with that motor $1 super should give you more than 4.5km..........highway driving? how hard do you run?

What tricks do you all have to getting better mileage, or maintain ur engine, etc?

well that could be your problem, why u burning all that gas
especially if u reving constantly
you ust know if the air gas screws adjusted correctly just from how your car idleing .

Lemme bump this thread ah bit. I have a SR20 vvl in my wingroad, i drive aggressively, i get 320kms on a full tank of SUPER gas, (takes $120 max to full)
i drive 140 -160 sometimes even 180KM/h. Had the car since april the only thing i changed, was i installed a power filter. Is this normal mileage for this kinda driving?
Oh yeah when i use the ac, i then turn off the compressor when the air gets cold.

Sr20VET Xtrail GT

$140 Super to fill...

Over 400k on that.

Seeing traffic and highway on work commute to the east from central.

But then I put an econo gizmo which goes lean on light load.

It used to do under 350K on same b4 the gizmo.

I get 350-400 km on super in a B14 sr20de and my foot ain't light. it takes about $120 for the most to full my tank. ppl you gotta keep in mind the size of your gas tank most cars that came factory 2.0l engines have bigger gas tanks but for a B14 which came with a 1.5l engine i think i'm doing good with a 2.0l engine. fuel treatments twice a month.

Thatguy......u knocking on super as 'swift' said?

KrAzYBoY · Postby **KrAzYBoY** » December 27th, 2009, 11:03 pm

I believe my wingroad has the 4 wheel drive gas tank which is smaller, a friend of mine has one and he takes about $150+ to full (but he doesn't run his tank on fumes like me) :mrgreen:
