Well, 20 in the city isn't bad, I've gotten as low as 17-18 when I drove like an ahoe, but you should always get at least 30 on the highway with an eco. I'd get that overheating thing checked out, its likely your problem.

hey i went with the oem tire size 225 50 16 when i got my new rims but could the extra airflow of the new rims vs the hubcaps create extra drag and lower my gas mileage, i drive the car even slower then i did b4 now

my mod are rims and tires, cosmo intake, and eibach springs, i did all this at once and have gone from 27-29mpg to 25-26.5 mpgs

LMAO i like how you talk about the "extra airflow", have you actually measure it?? I think is more due to weight, than that so called drag.

Just wanted to ask since overheating was brought up... my fans dont kick on without the A/C being on... anyone know why? It gets up to the 3/4 mark and still no fans. so i just turn on the ac and it drops back down below the half mark.

I think the fans are activated with the AC. Mine does that too.

Sounds like a GM thing, my cavalier does the same thing, as does the camaro. The factory fan activation is set really high for some reason, but when the A/C is turned on, the PCM automatically turns the fans on.


Wow, just looked at the date of the last post, talk about resurrection.

Yeah it's an older thread but a good one. My gas mileage on my 2.2 auto is about 20 city 27 hwy.

One thing not mentioned here is the differential gearing. I believe mine is 4.10. Does anyone have the rpo codes for the gear ratio. I also have the stock steelies. Not sure how big the tire is, but it's the stock size too.

Mine does this as well, but the A/C doesn't have to be on, it's just whenever I turn the fan up past like the 2nd or 3rd setting that the fans underneath the hood kick on.

my fasn do this as well, with the a/c on, they are both running... but it'll go to 3/4 and even higher...no fans...

PCM issue?

might just go SPAL fans, with Dual 12" fans, and a SPAL PWM
