KLDE gas mileage

Post by mxer4eva »

I tried a search on this topic but couldnt find anything relevant to a KLDE, so what are you guys getting out of the car on a full tank of gas? I just recently changed my O2 sensor which I know was killing my gas mileage, but anyhow I got 250 miles total out of a full tank a gas, which seems a low to me. But im thinking its the fact that this car revs so high on the highway thats costing me some gas mileage.

thanks

My MX-6 got 25-26mpg around town and 27-29 highway. That was with the usual bolt ons in place, 150hp to the wheels. My MX-3 bone stock which I've only driven city has done a best of 24mpg. But I'm pretty sure there is something up with it.

Seeing as our gas tanks only hold 12 gallons, that 250 miles sounds about normal. Thats about 22 mpg or so. Its alittle low but nothing crazy.
