Your Fuel Mileage
Thursday, September 23, 2010 8:28 PM
Ok, so i know there is a sticky about improving fuel mileage, but i was wondering what everybody else is getting. My car is a 2000 Sunfire- 2.2, 3spd. auto. I am getting between 230-290 miles to the tank, depending on conditions. Lately i have been driving about 40% highway, 60% city/country, and averaging 260-290 miles per tank which works out to roughly 19.5-22.5 mpg.

I'd like to know what you guys are getting- it doesnt matter what- 2.2, 2.4, 3spd, 4spd, 5spd, even ecotecs.
Should be interesting to see how all the different combinations do.

Also, anyone have any idea as to what the A/F ratio(s) are from the factory on this car, and would it be worth it to take it to a shop and have the ecu flashed?
