96 Chevy S10 -- Any ideas to improve fuel efficiency??

May 19, 2004 5 Replies

I have the 4.3L V6 engine, but, my efficiency is comparable to a v8 corvette!



My gas gauge fluctuates about a quarter of a tank at any given point...



I have been told that there is a known defect with the fuel sensor? or something to do with the air mixture controlled by the fuel injectors...



Any experts out there familiar with this problem on a 96 Chevy S10?


You gas guage has absolutely NOTHING to do with fuel efficiency.

How many miles since the last tune-up?

As an owner of a `95 Corvette & an `02 S-10 I can tell you the Vette gets better gas milage (by about 5 mpg) given the same driving style.

How many miles per gal are you getting?

My `02 is usually in the 19/20 range. Sometimes less, never seen more. I have been told I am not allowed to use a broadsword to disprove ?The Pen is Mightier than the sword?.
