I was just wondering what everyone gets for mileage, I'm getting about 15 city and 22 Hwy........ This is under NORMAL driving.
I have a 92 VR-4

I get around 16-17 when I'm just running around town, best I usually see is 22-24 cruising in 5th on long trips. I've gotten it as low as 14mpg with nothing but 5-mile in town trips to and from work

same, what the hell is up with people saying they are getting 25mpg city out of these cars, they must have swaped in a 4cylinder honda or something cause i just don't see it happening.

If I keep the revs low, I can get close to 25 city in my NA. I get roughly 26 combo cty/hwy, but I also beat on my car often. I would say 22cty/29hwy is what I get.
Key is... Don't Hit Boost... and you'll get excellent mileage.

Our cars run really rich from the factory. Install an AFC of some kind and you can change that.
Ever since I got the ARC and the datalogger, I consistantly get over 475 miles before the low fuel light comes on (unless I've been doing a lot of racing). It's not uncommon for me to get over 500 miles out of a tank with a lean tune for cruising.
With the HKS AFR, it was 425 at best, but I never really played with it. Didn't have a logger at that time (because there wasn't one yet).

I could, but spending $1000 just for an extra 5-7 mpg seems kinda silly. The ARC itself doesn't magically give me better gas mileage. My right foot does.

What sucks for us 5-speeds is that we cruise at such an ungodly rpm on the hwy. _________________ ~Joe - aka spider gear destroyer
