apparently i have a 325ex

[Kershaw]

filled up near my grandmothers house (her 88th bday) and on a whim hit the avg mpg button my obc. it said 25mpg. holy shit. and seeing that i had just calculated my last tank of gas 5 minutes ago at fill up, at 24.87mpg i thought wow that is really fucking good!

so i tried to baby it the 35 miles on the highway. staying between 70 and 75mph. when i got off the highway i topped off again. 1.066 gallons. distance traveled, 33.9 miles. obc said 30.9mpg. closeenough.jpg.

i am really impressed. :up:

my eta gets around 30-32 on the highway. I just drove from Southwest Florida to Lansing Michigan and got like 31.5 to the gallon or something

[audiquattrot]

wanna trade motors/tranny? I drive my gas guzzler 100+ a day....all hyway, and i'm still only getting 18mpg if i'm lucky! fill up every 3 days it seems

[Kershaw]

exactly. that was 31.8mpg. which is totally eta gas mileage.

lol guys. :) i drive 70+ miles a day. i need this!

the car has a decked head and an m30 afm. bottom end has ~300k on it. it's also lowered with an is lip. little mods add up i guess.

[Wh33lhop]

I don't think little mods add up to much mileage-wise. I think your motor is in good shape.

my ix with 4.10 diffs in it and a cam just got 26 mpg highway. 31-33 is good but you shoud be doing better than that audiquattrot.

Did the m30 afm do anything for you kershaw?

[shifty]

My 88 iX (manual) does a solid 18MPG with a mix of city/highway. If I do all highway, it's 20-22.

Kinda miss the old 300K mile es in that one respect. That fugly bitch got 28-30MPG no matter what.

[Kershaw]

yes, i was getting 20mpg at that point and the m30 afm was an instant +3mpg. i started seeing 23mpg. top half is a very good condition head. it's been decked, 3 angle valve job, and everything refreshed. using a large aem hot air intake. most important mod: wrinkle painted intake and valve cover.

i commute a lot and i track my fuel consumption pretty regularly.

i miss my es dearly. i could drive like a total jackass and still get ~30mpg.

ddi realize IX's got such good gas mileage (for an AWD car). i was always under the impressin the AWD feature murdered the gas mileage.

my fuel gage is broken and i have a 6 button OBC.a so i have no idea what my mileage is.

[gr8skyr]

MY OBC says a pretty consistent 24.6 mpg. Maybe it's just stuck there, or lying?

About 1/2 city/ hwy miles and I don't rev it much. Doesn't sit in traffic either.

Does this seem about right?

Suppose it could be if you ES-er's are doing 28-30.

They were only rated 1 mpg less than the i models.

31?

you don't have an injector swap do you?

I'm not surprised by 26+ but 31 is pretty hard to swallow.
