bad gas mpg
i lucky to get 200 miles a tank. and most of its highway driving. i did everything that i could like plugs wires fule filter, seafoam and other stuff. i use 93 oct and it just sucks the gas down. i have no check engine lights on. its a v6 12v and manual. does anybody else get this kind of mileage, or any advice at all.
i usually get around 270 from the tank in my 2.8 v30, but thats city driving. when i go for longer trips i get around 340+. did you check your tire pressure and cleaned the air filter? i would also guess that your o2 sensors might be going bad. btw could you post some pictures of your car? i would like to see that flat black paint job.
First, have you tried a different gas station?
Second, how long has this been happening? Is it recent or always? Winter blend gas tends to get a bit worse, or so I hear.
Third, clean your MAF, throttle body, etc.
Fourth, have you scanned for codes? Sometimes you might find something out even if you have no CEL...
Fifth - ever change your front O2 sensors? They wear out over time and if yours is old, I can guarantee that it's not working as well as a new one would, even if you're not getting codes.

Ive been experienceing the same thig lately. i am only getting about 55miles per quater tank I just put new double platnium plugs in too Might be wrong but i did it anyways.
im going to clean the throttle body next and then the o2 sensors
Im running 19" rims now and a flat K&N air filter. I cut the bottom off the base of the stock filter housing. Turbo exhaust with 2.5" exhaust from the cat back the to 2.5 single to the muffler sounds good.
