Guest xbangu Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 My car is sucking my gas tank like crazy, I drove from Orange County to Escondio then back which is around 80miles only each way and I am losing at lease 8 gallons and I am not even boosting. My speed meter which doesn't seem to be correct show steady at 70MPH, but RMP is around 3000RPM. My rear tires are 225-55-17. The car is not leaking any gas, but can smnell some dead gas coming out of the exhaust.. car have NO catalytic converter and Idle around 900RPM. PLEASE!!!! have anyone beenin this situation before, please tell me what to so to get better gas milages. thanks in advance.

2126 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Just curious! If the trip is only 80 miles each way (160 miles round trip) and you used 8 gallons to make the round trip...that equates to 20 MPG!!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xbangu Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Sorry, I mean 8 gallon for a one way trip = 80miles, I didn't dare to take it for a full round trip.. I am afraid I might run out of gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
