Well if s14s have bigger tanks, then that is really bad! I'm assuming you guys are not filling up til it's on 'E', like I do. Most of my miles are highway, but some are city. I would think mid 20's mpg should be about average..... but what do I know?!

i get around 25 or 26 mpg, which is a mix of city and highway driving.

When you fill up, put ur mileage thing to zero. Then drive until you're at E. Then at ur next fill up, divide the number of miles driven by the gallons of gas it took to fill up the tank. That'll give you some idea of how well you're doing on gas.

The factory specs are like, 23 city/28 highway i think.

for a manual they are like 23/28, for a auto it's 21/26 if I remember correctly. I average 22mpg with my baby, not so hot.

I usually get from 275-300 on my 93 KA. Tried running those fuel treatment things, changed my spark plugs and fuel filter. Anyone here try Seafoam? I guess i'll try that and then do my 02 sensor. I'm used to my Honda's getting like 500 miles [ not really ] per gallon. Gas is killing this college student.
