Question Freinds Need Help

That’s about fuel consumption.

I found that most srt6 have around 20 mpg/gallon.

I drive my car everyday and of course spend my time in traffic jam.

Couple days ago I decided to check my fuel consumption and was shocked!

I rode on my 6 extremely low (shifting up to 2000 rpm without fast starts)

The only tunes wich I have are NeedsWings DCAI and Teflon/Thermal Coated Lower YPipe
And my consumption is 8 mpg/gallon!
Why should this happen

P.S.
Also I find P0335 code. But I this is crank shaft sensor ...

that can't be. Unless you have a fuel leak, or someone siphoning your gas somehow. You'd definately notice performance issues going from 20-8

I agree, 8 miles per gallon would indicate a serious engine issue.

I'd think even if you were mis-firing on 1 cyclinder, with a rough engine, you could do at least 8 per gallon, if not better.

Is it possible your math is off...???

An easy routine is to fill the gas tank to the rim (top it off).

Drive normally for about 100 miles.

Then top off the tank again, and record the mileage driven from last fill up, and amount of gas put in.

Then do the math for mles per gallon...

Let`s deal with that.

I leave in Russia and have my speedo in Km/h and fuel consumption in liters/100 km

I could overcome only 300 km on the hole tank (in my case it`s 65 liters, I thing the same as yours)

So in miles thats around 187, what is yours average distance?

Thanks

If you compute 22 per gallon, in heavy City traffic, with lots of stop and go, I think your in really good shape.

As an example, on an extended trip, with just highway driving (in 6th gear), I averaged about 28 miles per gallon.

So 22 in the City of Moscow, moving at a crawl is okay in my mind...

So was it 8 miles per liter ? I'm confused . By the way 22 mpg seems right for an average. I get 26 highway 21 to 22 mixed city.

Sounds like the OP answered his own question, but I average slightly over 20 mpg and I definitely don't baby the throttle, but also don't drive like a complete lunatic.

I have been tracking mine in a spreadsheet and I get 260 to 290 miles on 13.5 to 14 gallons. Average is 20mpg to 21mpg city driving. On the highway I get 23mpg or a little more.


And yes, the P0335 is the crankshaft position sensor. If you are getting the code you should change it before it fails at a bad time, or be carrying a spare and the tools to change it.

What is the quality and Octane Rating on Fuel in Russia? This will also have a determining factor in your Cars mileage..

Here in Australia our Octane ratings are between 91-98..

I run my SRT-6 on 98 Unleaded.. It is a nice clean fuel that burns well..

I get between 22 and 24 normally on my NA. 28-30 on a trip, the winter blend of gas is poorer quality so it's more like the 22 in the daily commute. in summer it goes back to between 24-almost 26. I almost always use the 89 and runs like a champ. BTW, I really like those yellow calipers on the Aero Blue Mike. Look really sharp.
