200SX SE-R fuel economy

Hi all,

What kind of gas mileage do you all extract from your 200SX SE-Rs?

TIA!

Average 28mpg.

Crono is dead on for my average as well, with almost 160K on the ticker. I've got as much as 32mpg out of on tank, and as little as 25mpg on another. Just depends on how much I get stuck in traffic.

Ditto what '96 said. I've got about 85K on my '95 SE-R, and get low 30s on road trips, mid 20s around town, high 20s if I'm doing both.

I took a trip up to my folks house this past weekend and pulled 40 mpg out of the old Se-r. No bullshit. 320 miles on 8.1 gal. of gas. I don't know any v-8 cars that runs 14's and gets that kind of gas mileage.

Mid to low 20's, around town, high teens in boost

Actually...I think most V8's actually do get great gas mileage on the highway. I think the camaro gets like 38?? Not sure but I know they are very effective machines at higher speeds. City travel is where they get screwed over.

I dunno how effective the Camaro is, but the 99 Dakota R/T I just optioned off for a new Frontier Crew Cab sure loved the petro. It got 13-14 in the city, and was luck to see 20-21 on pure highway driving. That's the main reason I bought the SE-R about a year ago when my commute doubled.

Later...

No Camaro will ever see 38mpg unless it was totally babied. They get about 17 city/24 hwy.

On my 95 w/ 120K miles and all bolt-ons less pulleys, I get 26-28. It used to be up around 32 all the time but something happened... and I've been searching for that something for close to two years now! The bad gas mileage started before I modded the car and continue after modding it to hell. I get better gas mileage around 90-100 but that might have something to do with the EGR not being threaded into the header

I get about 20 around town avg and 24-26 on the highway. This is with an idiotmatic though so likely to be better with a 5 speed.

If this B13 owner is allowed to play, I've seen low-30s at high-speed cruise and a low of 15 mpg (yep, you read right) while circulating Texas World Speedway during a track day.

Usually averaged 27-28 mpg.

No. They are not. Go away.

jp! I thought older cars got worse gas mileage. Of course....the engine is the same so I guess it's not that big of a difference. As long as you have a good tune-up you should be getting upper 20- lower 30.

Mine has always gotten 22-25 mpg no matter how I drive.
