I had 443 miles to the tank from the last time I filled up and It still had almost 2 gallons left in the tank. I've never gotten that good of gas mileage before, my car has 161k on it with the original motor. Is this some sort of midlife crisis for the Venge or is something going to go drastically wrong soon. lol. What do you guys usually get to the tank with your 2.0's???

I used to get about 420 (like our motors 420a you potheads!!) miles to the tank. But with all the "upgrades" it cut my MPG in half

wow, 420! i didn't realize the 2.0s got that much better than the 2.5s. i have the 2.5 and i normally get around 360 or so… on average.

Yeah, but now my 2.0 get like 200-250 if I'm lucky. Maybe after everything is fully broken in it'll get better, but I doubt it'll be much better.

od should be on. when the light comes on...not good. in the 2.5...after mods..i've gotten 520 something miles on one tank..mostly highway..but there was some city..if there was no city, i could have easily gotten at least 560. with my current venge..350-highway.

if u get bad mileage..here's a check off list:
-fuel system clean (lucas)-toxicated system...inefficient combustion
-spark plugs -ineffecient sparks...inefficient combustion
-02 sensors - bad readings...ecm miscalculates
-oil additive - cylinder restorer...one every oil change for a while..then one every so often-build up in the engine from past oil deposits i.e. oil that sits no matter how often u change oil...remember..when u do an oil change..not every bit gets out some stay for a while.
these are the biggest culprits (other than lead-foot syndrome) there are other smaller things that contribute...here are my driving habits..
i kinda got used to the way the traffic lights go in my town..so i predict...and never accelerate more than necessary..im only gonna get there to stop again...i hardly ever go above 2500 rpms....a couple times per tank...u can get up to 69 mph keeping below that limit. better mileage comes with it...here's another hint...
how fast ur going does have something to do with the amount of gas ur using..but here's the real culprit..
say u were driving slow..at about 37 or 38 mph...ur rpms are just below 2K, if u were to speed up, go to 54 mph, you would be burning the same amount of gas per time period, but b/c ur going faster, ur getting better mileage...its really how fast ur engine is spinning..for every revolution, you get six injections ( higher speed to lower rpm = better mileage. thats y cars with more low end power achieve better city mileage. so if u were to build ur engine/modify to perform better at lower rpms. mileage would increase.... a lOT

520 man?? That's hard to swallow that's over thirty. They were rated at 25. What mods did you have? A grappling hook to attach to other cars, so you could cut your engine and coast behind?  ?  |

Thats interesting, the best mileage I have gotten in my Eclipse, I got 435 on a tank and I was going from Portland to Elgin and did about 90 the whole way with my A/C on. that was about 35 a gal for me.
