1993 Camaro 3.4 Gas Millage Posted By: jamezruiz On: 03-20-2010 @ 18:16:30 Reply | Edit am i suposed to make 170-180 miles per full tank of gas on a ? its stock Posted By: Storn On: 10-25-2007 @ 18:59:46 Reply | Top | Edit no... just, no...figure you have a 16 gallon tank, then that is only like what 12mpg at best if you fill it up with 2 gallons hangin out in the tank still...simple math... unless you are actually leaking gas somewhere, i find it hard for it to run that low a mpg...the computer must be dumping insane amounts of fuel into the engine for no reason, well there is a reason, but who knows... maybe your intake is leaking and its causing the o2 sensors to read high which causes the pcm to increase pulse width to bring it back to normal voltage readings to run half assed normal... does it idle high, does it ever die for no apparent reason... we need more information if you want useful help... --

Posted By: stevethepirate On: 11-02-2007 @ 21:21:20 Reply | Top | Edit i drive conservatively, and i get 20ish with city driving, but get 28 on the highway. 3.4's are also underpowered for the weight of the car. i dont know what theyre rated at, but i cant imagine that the gas mileage would be as good as the 3.8's. --

Posted By: jamezruiz On: 11-30-2007 @ 17:03:58 Reply | Top | Edit well i am still getting crappy milleage, i put $30.00 in gas at $2.98 per gallon, but anyways it still continued wasting gas , i have about 120miles out of it , the meter is a lil over the quarter mark. i had changed a few stuff, motor oil,trans fluid, spark plugs,oil filter,transmission control solenoid for the tranny,egr. do u still suggest i change to different spark plugs? do u recomend buying all of this: new wire set,fuel filter,oil filter *i have a fram*,denso iridium spark plugs? Posted By: Rg320camaro On: 12-01-2007 @ 12:39:37 Reply | Top | Edit Might try changing the fuel filter and injectors. Check your catalytic converter, if its bad you could be running rich. Also, might take it to a shop where they can do a complete fuel system clean. -- Trent '99 Pewter Z28 M6 - just another bolt-on/cammed LS1

Posted By: jamezruiz On: 06-20-2008 @ 12:23:17 Reply | Top | Edit yes i do city driving only, i dont have a clue how much this 3.4 will give me on the HIGHWAY, plus its got the bent axle so i would be worrried to take it on a semi long trip on the Interstate 40 E or i40 West . there is this damn train that gets in my way for 5,10 and even 15 minutes sometimes, i think i should be turning off the car when that hapenes, cus i heard u get 0 mpg when just iddleing -- Posted By: Jeremiah On: 06-24-2008 @ 16:51:02 Reply | Top | Edit Why do you drive on a bent axle? -- 2005 GMC 1500HD 6.0L, 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix 1991 Camaro - 24 Hours of LeMons race car.

Posted By: jamezruiz On: 06-24-2008 @ 20:17:47 Reply | Top | Edit cus i didnt know i had a bent axle lol, i'll continue to drive with a bent axle after the A/C compressor gets installed and my personal mechanic returns from texas, i allways thought it was the original stock rims were severely bent, i replaced them with others and they ended up bent lol -- Posted By: ken125 On: 06-24-2008 @ 22:19:40 Reply | Top | Edit i would say check for a fuel oder id say you have a leak. is your SES light on? if it is get the computer scanned. you should be getting much better than that even if you do drive hard. my z gets over 20mpg on average with mixed driving. -- 1997 silver six speed Camaro.

It also doesnt matter if you thought it was a bent rim or axle, its dumb to keep driving on it like that.EDIT: You also dont need a mechanic to replace an axle... -- 2005 GMC 1500HD 6.0L, 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix 1991 Camaro - 24 Hours of LeMons race car.

I have a 3.4 and in the city i average 25mpg and on hte freeway i have a 3 hr drive to my college so every few weeks i test the mileage, ive gotten my best to 31 mpg! this is a constant 70 mph with the windows and ttops up and on. If i take the ttops off and lower the windows its crazy how much it drops me to 28ish mpg. --
