1993 Camaro 3.4 Gas Millage Posted By: jamezruiz On: 05-16-2008 @ 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
