My math sucks ass real bad. I been trying to do this myself for days now but i get all confused so help me out.

i put 26 litres of gas in my winter beater (1993 dodge shadow) and got 300 km out of her. 90% highway driving.
I can't figure out that 7.3L/ 100 km stuff so i have been trying to convert it to MPG which i understand easily.

Am doing this because i suspect that the car is consuming excessive fuel. Someone please do the math for me.

^ Maybe if you stopped bagging your car. haha. J/K. A good tune will go a long way. Running rich is a lot better than running lean.

Holy crap. 18MPG with a four banger civic? I think your gas tank is leaking.
My buddies 95 civic gets 33MPG

Well richard, i'm actually thinking about bribing you to reburn my chip to the stock p30 program... I went from 450/tank to 350/tank and when winter hit, it went to like 300/tank
Or I'll just finally get it tuned... just need to scrap together some money.
