Only getting 240 miles per tank
Im only getting around 20 mpg 4 cylinder eco 2.2L ( automatic )
what problems could be affecting this? |
Fuel filter, air filter, and spark plugs can all effect the mileage your getting.
|
tire pressure. and the way u drive
|
Please don't use "per tank." It's nowhere near accurate. Use MPG.
|
Automatic or Standard?

... so true!!! |
wow you're lucky that youre at least getting that much. The most i ever got was around 140 miles per tank and its a 4door, automatic, v6. I have to fill up like every single week and gas is getting close to $3 a gal. Next time i go for an oil change, which should be soon, I gotta ask to have the fuel filter checked.
|
Sounds like more than a bad fuel filter, you're talking about 10 to the gallon, which I'm getting right now, in winter, E10 gas, 5 minute warmups, and a partially-clogged cat.

lmao at you mileages.
but to help mileage (but decrease traction in the winter) i run high tire psi. i clean my air filter regularly. i've also noticed better mileage after seafoaming my car. make sure you have to brakes dragging. don't haul around lots of weight. if you have a big stereo turn it down. plugged cat will decrease mileage, but should throw a code? check spark plugs, could be fouled. and honestly 20mpg city mileage isn't too terrible for a v6. i barely get 25 in my 4cyl with a standard. and i dont really drive that nicely. check all those things. easy to do, and cheap for the most part. watch the way you drive too |
It's not totally clogged, but it is somewhat, or just shot, cause my exhaust smells like rotten eggs, and my mileage sucks. Good news is my magnaflow cat/downpipe should be delivered today:yahoo:
|
wow... snow tires(slightly low pressure), 25*F, and slightly faster than highway speeds (55-75mph)
...I average 26mpg with my 3400. |
until about a month ago I could go 75 on interstate and average out about 30 with my LA1
|
I also get about 26mpg with my 3400 on the highway and about 21 mpg in the city.
|
jeez i get like 20 highway and 18 city. imma replace my fuel filter n plugs
|
Best i have gotten was 28 on the highway when I traveled from AZ to NM to see some family over the holidays. I average about 24-26 highway and 18-22 city (depending on how i drive.)
|
if we're talking best... i've got 32-35mpg on the way to ASS...
|
best my alero has gotten was 42 us mpg. i've seen that and 40mpg twice this summer
|
Yeah but you have an ecotec with standard tranny. I wish I did.
|
yup. but this is the ecotec section.
alot of it comes down to how you drive it. even on the highway |

I just realized this :( ... My figures on a 3400 and very low altitude in AZ. I forgot to figure my mileage when I went to ASS this year. I will have to figure out when I go to ASS again this coming summer (hopefully.) |
