how many miles should i be able to get off a full tank?

Foxfan88 · Dec 3, 2004

whats the mpg on 2.3s?

I hope at least 300, could i get 350?

JadeFalcon · Dec 3, 2004

The most mileage I ever got on my NA 2.3L was 388 miles to a tank. thats about 26mpg.

In my auto, I ussually got 280-320 miles per tank with a couple gallons to spare (21-24mpg), but I do mostly city driving.

I drive 40 miles one way to work most Rural HY or I-65. I get 300-350 on my 93 2.3 N/A LX hatch, with the auto trans.

I would venture that my gas mileage would be lower if I was driving in stop and go traffic though.

I get about 360-375 to a tank.

280-300 miles per tank.

Usually a little over 350, Except when I got stuck in the mud and I use a quarter tank getting out lol

WTF!? How much gas to you get in your tanks? I know they are 15.4 gallons, but I never get more than 11 in, and only get 220 to a tank!

I know what you mean. I have an 88 and I can fit in around 15 gallons or so, but my buddy has an 89 and he can only fit in around 11. Doesn't make much sense to me either.

That's pretty simple to figure out...the gauge shows empty when there is still 4 gallons in the tank...

Ah, I didnt know that. Thanks Stinger. That still only equates to 20 MPG ... Ah well.

I wish i got that good, i get it so bad. I fill up every week, and do ALL city driving, in my auto. i figured i get 16 miles to the gallon, on a BONE STOCK 2.3 n/a. i hate it!

kiddiccarus · Dec 3, 2004

I kind of feel good about my gas mileage now.

93GreenLX · Dec 3, 2004

I changed my fuel filter and use BG44K on a regular basis....The fuel gauge is so horrible on out cars...watch it go from full @ 98 miles to 3/4 at 99 lol

kiddiccarus · Dec 3, 2004

There has to be something wrong with your fuel system man, I am at 330 right now and I have not touched the red part by the E yet.

My guage does the same thing that yours does though I agree that they suck, but I am thinking I will replace all my stock guages with aftermatket ones though.

Shawneebear93 · Dec 3, 2004

I changed the fuel filter August 15 when my Dad & I changed the oil.

ZeroCulture · Dec 3, 2004

Alteast you guys have fuel gages !!! Driving one day ... and a small cloud of smoke came out from the side of the guage cluster .. and guess what, the needle on my fuel guage, moved all the way to the top, behind the edge of the cluster, and now it doesn't work anymore.

I use my tripometer to figure out how much gas i've got left ... i get about 475 - 500 kilometres to the tank ... so whatever that works out to in miles.

edit .. just checked .. just over 300 miles to the tank. Those numbers are from last weeks tank ... this past weekend, I've just replaced the plugs/wires/fuel,air filters/oil change, and checked/replaced fluids where necesary.

So, I ought to be getting a bit better mileage from now on.
