madman1 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 ok this is a good one. my 92 ls400 has 78,000 miles on it and replaced the air filter,fuel filter and spark plugs and yes i know it really didnt need plugs but i guess i was just bord. anyway before i done all of this i would get about 210 miles to ahalf a tank with reg unleaded. after it was all done i now get around 160 miles out of ahalf a tank. i didnt got back with the factory plug i went with the bosch platiuam quaud tip it not a real cheap plug at 5 or 6 $ a peace. what happened ?

silvermate Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 humm that sounds odd. i am currently running the same plug, they are working out great 210 miles to the half of tank, is pretty darn good though also is that just one mileage calculation??? you have to do several,(atleast 3-4) to actually get a fair reading....give her some time ;) have u changed any of your driving habbits?

445187 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 What brand of gas does everyone use, any favorites or myths? We have a stinkr station here that has 93 octane (with 10% ethanol), is ethanol ok? Sorry to pour gas on the fire! :chairshot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most gasolines come from the same refineries, they just mix in different additives in the storage tanks. No real big differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
