Is This Good For A GSR?
#12
The majority of the threads that I've started are related in some way shape or form to gas mileage, even though gas is cheap at the moment. Check out some of my previous threads, they may be able to help you diagnose some problems.
Gas mileage is so tough to diagnose some times. I've got as good as 33-34MPG in the summer time using the AC on the highway and as bad as 19-21MPG in the fall and winter in the city. There are so many different things that can cause bad gas mileage and/or power loss. The biggest factor in MPG is driving habits, followed by the mechanical condition of the vehicle itself. Extra weight in the vehicle also hurts the car in many different performance and economy categories.
Besides dividing the miles driven by the gallons used, be sure to maybe write down a few tanks worth of numbers and average them out to get a better idea over the long term. This will help even out driving habits, weather and road conditions and different types of fuel used over the course of a few weeks to a month.
I've been posting a few threads lately related to fuel and power improvements and some of the changes I've made have helped out. Check them out, they may be able to help you a little.

i have a tendency to keep the pedal to the floor, and typically got close to 300 on 93 mixed city and highway, i got up to 36 mpg if i was really nice and as low as 23 when i was feelin froggy
300 b4 the light comes on that is, could probably get over 350 if i felt brave
