V6 on Gas?

Post by aznsoldier »

Hi, I drive a 92 V6. I wastes gas like crazy i probably only get around 7 or 8 km for every liter. I was wondering what some of the other mileages might be, it's only a 1.8 Liter engine, i just don't think the mileage is right. there might be something wrong with my car, any help will do thanks.

your o2 sensors may be broken or too old and not working correctly.

5spd or automatic, mostly city, half and half? Seems normal for an auto in the city I would think.

Here's a few things that might increase your gas mileage:<p>1. change/clean your air filter
2. change your spark plugs/wires
3. add some fuel injector cleaner
4. check your o2 sensor
5. maybe your exhuast has something wrong with it?
