pfff good ol' Cleveland Ohio... sex drugs rock n' roll and cheap *** gas.


Down in Lodi i've seen only 83 and 93 options i think, but then again thats where the KKK originated so that city is a bit screwy

 

damn 83? and ur engine runs fine? no pinging or knocking or anything?

 

What the hell is 83 LOL

 

yeah i run 93 only. i also only drive my car in the spring summer and fall. still 93 only unless we are going somewhere that i know some one is going to throw down with me.. then its 100

 

damn where do u live that you get 100

all we got around here is 87, 89, 93

why u people got all these wierd grades, haha.

 

Ok so far I'm at 246 miles right now with 1/4 tank left

 

We have 87, 89, and 91 ;_; and it's all expensive!

 

That's because California sucks for car owners.

 

at least you guys have decent roads over there, not the pieces of tar between potholes that they try to pass off as roads around here >_<

 

15.9 gallons on my 93 240SX, listed on owners manual.

Now, the 2 gallon reserve does not mean the car actually has 2 gallons more than the listed capacity. The 2 gallon reserve means it will light (if so equipped) at 13.9 mark.

 

I think if I ease up on the gas a little bit more ,I will get more than 276 miles,thats when I have to fill up yesterday,I went up 26 miles

 

i keep a gas log because my dad always did, so i did....

some notable mileage / gallons:

399.2 / 13.250
386.6 / 15.502
371.1 / 14.444
362.2 / 13.609

i think that 399.2 i think that might have been when i had an interview and i was doing a constant 60mph (which was still speeding ...) but not bad for a little over 30 mpg

 

sorry to bring this thread back, but my gas light hasnt came on since i got the car, and i'm below/at E right now, dunno how much more i can go before i panic and roll in the gas station...but I have a '98 se and i have the bulb in the cluster, so from the gist of this thread the light turns on when u have used 13.9 gallons? I can remember putting in 14.xxx before and no gas light....damnit i'm confused

 

you shouldn't run low because your fuel system will suck in all the crap and deposits that have settled to the bottom of the tank... get to the gas station pronto bro!

BTW my car clocked in 390 miles on a topped-off full tank of 91

 

yea I usually never let it get below 1/4 tank, but I just wanted to see when the gas light comes on.....and so far is hasnt but the needle is getting lower and lower...lol I had the same problem in my last car, a '94 accord ex...those cars had probs with the fuel level sensor...anyway I just wanted to see when the damn thing would turn on, but i guess it isnt THAT important
