mpg for SR20det - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Right now I am getting about 230 miles to a full tank of gas.

Shit, I can't go around the block on that not to mention I have to drive 10mi to get to a gas station that sells 94oct.  Not to complain to much I still love my ride (speeders can't be choosers)

But seriously does anyone know about how much I should be getting or did the 180 or Silvia have different sized tanks (larger) or is what I am getting the norm  All you SRs out there help me out what are you guys getting

give me a week or so and I can give you highway miles for a tank...my car should be ready soon and i have to drive 21/2 hours home with it :/

Actually the highway miles are great.  Because the gears are so tall you can cruise @ 80mph at like 3k rpm.  It's driving around town and the turbo kicking in that kills the milage

My frined was getting 28ish mpg the weekend we drove his car home from Kansas city, which is the same as I was getting in my KA24DE.  Now sure how its running now.  I didn't catch where you live.  If it's cold there now, wait till the weather is really nice.  I was running 28mpg like clockwork till winter.  Then it dropped to like 24.  Now its back up around 28, well except the weekend I went to the track, even with 100 highway miles I was only got about 18 mpg on that tank.
