I have a 97 gsx and I get about 200 miles per tank.. It seems that I am not the only one to experience low gas milage.. Also my coworker has a 96 gsx and we get about the same fuel economy. I am thinking something is also worng after hearing this thread!!

I've heard a lot of things can cause bad gas mileage. Bad 02 sensors, air filter, even a bad wheel alignment can cause your gas to go down a bit. I have an 01 GT, put $20 of 89 and got about 80 highway miles till it was empty again. 89 octane is $2.89 today.

Gas here in Vegas for 91 grade is $3.30 and 100 octane is $5.. I think i will run 100 octance soon if that stays the same...lol Also is 100 octane good for the GSX.. I know i put 6 gallons or close to 1/2 a tank and my fuel economy was actually a little better and the ran AWESOME!!

i have a 97 gst spyder and i get about 300 miles on a tank of 93 octane. I have some mods tho so that might bring it down a lil. Something is def. wrong, even if you did a tune up i still dont think it would make up that much difference.

also driving w/ the window's down will cause you to have worse gas mileage... but my windows HAVE to be down lol
