is this normal?
looking at my list of mods should i be gettin low 100 miles out of a tank of gas?? ive been taking it easy and all. that just seems alittle low for me. not sure how much the pump and injectors changed the guzzling. im not seeing any leaks around the lower manifold but when i give it a decent amount of throttle i can smell raw gas in the car. where else could it be coming from?? help

sounds like you are running way rich.
Just for comparison, I get about 230-250 miles per fillup (usually between 12-14 gallons) and mine actually gets worse mileage than alot of others. So you definately have a problem. what is your fuel pressure set at? also, is your MAF calibrated for 24lb injectors? With your mod level, I would ditch the 24lb'ers and put the stock ones back in. |
Dangit, I'm only getting like 210 miles on a fillup...What's up with that?

You have to look at driving style, transmission, tune of engine, climate, quality of gas, where you do most of your driving (ie highway or city). I have a T-5 and do atleast half of my miles (if not more) on the highway. These 2 contribute to a little better mileage. But my heavy foot, the 3.73's, and the cam tend to hinder it somewhat :) |
I'm lucky if I go into the 200's using 3/4 of my tank. I even dyno tuned my car. (I have a few more mods then you do though) I picked up an additional 20 ponys from doing it :D Oh well, my MPG is going to get worse soon. I don't care much... it's a price I have to pay for a fast car :D :cool:

The smell could be from the PCV valve coming loose, or a bad evap canister.

well i found a gas leak where the filler neck meets the tank so there a problem. ill fix that and see how much better gas mileage is. also right around 5k it sounds like there are marbles bashing around in my motor and its not making any power. its not detonation, ive got 93 octane and timing at 13*. i thinki im gonna change my injectors back in cause it wasnt doing it with them and was pulling hard past 6k. now it feels like my old cam. maybe going lean up top?
