  • Poor gas milage...help!!!

    My 1995, 3.4L Camaro is only getting like 150-175 miles per tank of gas. My foot gets alittle heavy once in a while but not too often.
    What can i do to my car to hopefully improve milage somewhat?

    I've changed my plugs/wires, i have the SLP CAI, and a new carsound cat to my dynomax super turbo muffler.

    Any suggestions on what can help??

    Have you had your fuel regulator checked or the ERG system and definantely the oxygen sensors. The oxygen sensors, I almost positive that you have two, need to be replaced every so often which if they are bad then it causes them to give the cars computer false readings and cause false air/fuel ratio. Let me know if you need anymore help just email me at skullcamaro@aol.com(better to do the first option) or post here to contact me.

      definatley check O2 sensors, and also I know it sounds stupid but your tire pressure will reduce your gas mileage as well...make sure everything's oiled up and check your air filter, if its too dirty you'll lose power and get poor gas mileage....maybee just do an induction service, clean the throttle body and such....

        Change your fuel filter. That's what I thought it wasn't, but it was.

        My Milage went from 210 to over 305. :eek:

          errr, this doesnt sound too good for me. i forgot to mention that i had my fuel filter changed alittle while ago, and i changed my oxygen sensors too. I just put new tires on so they all have the right pressure in them.

          Wheres the fuel regulator and the EGR and how do i check them??

                Have you ever changed it? It's suppose to be done at 30k miles. I changed mine at like 115k, I had never changed it before, but I'm sure it was probably changed at 30k or so miles by the dealer :eek: ...

                  What kind of traffic are you in? The traffic here sucks so bad I get like 16-18mpg, when I normally should get 20.

                      Alls I have to say is BG44K, that stuff really works, I am back to my original gas milage! The stuff is about 17-20 dollars a can, and I picked it up at my GM dealership. But it does work, car runs way better, and better mpg to top.
