i just realized now that i have to put in gas way to frequently in this car and something might be up. After recently(friday) completely filling up my tank i reset the trip meter to see how many miles i was getting.
42.3 miles driven so far .. quarter tank gone. i read somewhere that the 2000 alero 2.4 holds about 15 gallons of gas which equals me only getting about 11.3mpg...
any thoughts on this? 
EXTRA INFO:
car is a 2dr. has less than 60k miles on it. no extra weight in car just me(160lbs) & spare tire. no rims/subs/etc..
tires are at 30psi each. auto trans. no lights on in car besides low tire pressure(each tire has been checked repeatedly..30psi..bad sensor there?) & battery light(had battery & alt replaced this year.. light stays on.. no sound system only upgraded speakers & HIDs.. possible bad sensor there too?) |
do NOT go by this alone. absolutly horriblw way to guess. there are many threads mentioning how the first quarter seems to go like nothing. my 3400 could get roughly 300 miles per tank. first quarter gone in 50 miles. wait till you use more fuel then fill it up, devide the miles on your trip by the gallons you put in and tell us what you get.
