Only 400 Kms Per Tank ?
 

Hello again
My car has been running great the last few weeks however I now notice that I'm only getting 400kms per tank(NOT MILES) anyway just want to know what you guys/girls are getting on you Alero ! are what would be the problem for this shitty fuel consumption !

i get about 200miles to a tank if im lucky

First of all, quit with this "tank" shit. No one runs their car until the tank is completely empty. You rate your fuel economy in MILES PER GALLON or kilometers per liter for you weird Canadian guys. That's the only way you're going to get a real reading on fuel consumption.

You're getting about 17.4 MPG. I get 27-30 city on average.

damn.....i noticed that my gas guage in my saturn was still up there after 425 MILES!!!! just filled it tonight at 431 miles on E, took 35 dollars..

last TANK i got about 270mi ..... so about 434km. but i only put 10gallons in, to fill it. (ION will have a small conniption w/ that last sentence. :lol: )


crap man. this is turning into quite an algebra equation.....

1.21 gigawatts!!!

k because when i fill up and i have the trip meter reading 215miles and i fill up my tank with 13gallons of gas and we only have a 14 gallon tank so thats what i mean when i say "tank." for me 215mi / 13gal =~17 MPG

Actually over here we use the measurement : Liters per 100 kms lolol

I calculated that I do around 8 Liters per 100 km. Which is not bad. A Hybrid civic is suppose to do around 4 L / 100 km.

The big question is how low does it get before you fill it?

I usually put in 10 gallons, at times as much as 12. Only once I put in 13.8 :eek:

Im usually only getting around 400km for city driving.... for some reason its been harder on gas the last few months. Highway I'll get around 550km. To fill its usually around 44-47 liters.

its awesome that no-one is offering advice as to how he might improve that... just saying what their own mpg is... :glare:

thats what he asked so i answered

and the next line down....

:lol:

check your air filters, maybe run some engine cleaner through your car, oil change?, check your tires PSI...



i forgot to add before. when i got 434km... (or ~270 as my gauge read) i got like 27mpg, and had been doing alot of highway driving around 65mph. For me, i consider that pretty good gas mileage, with the V6

yes but dont ask why i posted my personal MPG, we was asking the community what they are getting in the first half of his question

I did run my tank until it was empty! Dry as a bone ! I am one of those weird Canadian guys as well :scpimp:
"filled the tank up until it would not hold one more drop then drained it dry" I was shocked !

you know by "topping off" when you fill up your gas tank you ruin the pressure in the tank and it can ruin your MPG right?

I average 330 miles per tank...(tank meaning fill it up drive it till I need to fill it up again)...love the 2.2

Full tank of gas 2 years ago, now still got a little over 1/2 tank now, total Mpg 2 gal a feet.

miles dont say much, i put on usually 3000-4000 a month. gas takes up the vast majority of my paycheck. if i calculate how much i spend on it per mpg i will get pissed and hate my alero for being a gas sucker. ignorance can be bliss xD

No I did not know that ! ? something to think about !
