I'm getting about 400 km (250 miles)per tank on mine which is pretty bad considering a year ago I used to get 600km (375 miles). I just changed my air intake to CAI and I'm gonna check a few things and I'll let you know what I find cause it might be similar to you.

I;m gonna check fuel filter, throw some injector cleaner in there, convert to WAI, and after that I don't know what to look for. I'll let you know what works for me though.

I have the LA1 V6 though just letting you know

i get between 310 and 320 miles out of a full tank with the 2.4. sounds like your due for a much needed tune-up lol

cherrington17 · 12-16-2009, 10:22 PM

I found my mpg dropped alot with a WAI compared to the stock intake.

I try to fill mine up at about half a tank if I can so at about half a tank I usually range anywhere from 170-200 miles depending on how fast I drive.

jabartram · 12-16-2009, 11:59 PM

i get about 240 out of a tank if im lucky, my 3400 is a gasaholic.

cherryfrog · 12-17-2009, 12:08 AM

AXLE · 12-17-2009, 12:46 AM

I get 28 to 30 mpg combined, that's probably as good as it will get for me.

Cliff8928 · 12-17-2009, 01:24 AM

I get about 300 miles per a tank without driving on the highway..

My average MPG over the course of the last year has been 25.9945 with an average cost per gallon of $2.356 equaling out to about a 9.1¢ per mile.

So over the 12,137 miles I have logged so far this year, I've spent $1104.47 in fuel.

Wow! Do you have this all in MS excel?

i get an estimated 300 mp tank with my ld9. i usually run it untill my gas guage goes all wacky (3-5) gallons left and then top it off. im averaging 18-20mpg city with a k&n drop in filter, new plugs 12k ago, and brand new fuel filter, plus i check my tire pressures regularly.

AndyT3 · 12-17-2009, 07:56 AM

I have a 2.4L and this past weekend I did a lot of highway driving and got about 270 miles to the tank.

when do you fill the tank and how many gallons do you normaly put in? i notice that first half a tank goes by realy quick and then the last 1/2-1/4 takes its sweet ass time.

01OldsAleroGt · 12-17-2009, 10:17 AM
