BAD gas milage HELP
Hello all,
I have a91 GT, 5 speed has very minor mods (pullies, K&N, timing 14*) and I just got a full tune up (plugs, wires, PCV, fuel filter).
I don't really drive it hard and I am getting about 225 kms per tank. That's BAD. I runs great though.
Any ideas?

Ya im getting bad milage to but not as bad as yours im getting like 260 km to a tank and thats just driving it easy no flooring it or nothing. Mostly shifting at 2 grand some times 3. So in miles im only getting 161 miles out of a full tank. My car stinks though, that could be mostly from the off road pipe but it smells like its running rich.

fuel filter, yes many change this but each injector has a tiny screen and can also get build up on each injector it can cause it to dribble and loose atomization
have you pulled codes make sure each and every sensor is functioing on the car
what is each cylinder pressure in engine get checked write down each one they need to be at mininum pressure and also need to be - or + a % from each other too
what tire size and pressure? run at max recommended pressure, heavier wheels and tires do not help mpg
