Miles per Gallon...
So right now I am clocking in at around 16-18 MPG, that is on 91 Octane without getting after it all the time (Driving Conservatively). I do have a leak on my intake hose to the turbo, which not only is causing boost issues which I have somewhat fixed with a rubber polymer, but at the same time is causing the car to run a little rich. What are you guys/gals averaging on MPG? I think and hope that they are capable of reaching maybe 22-24 MPG?
I know that intake and sometimes exhaust can make a difference, that and spark plugs can make little improvements. What do you say? Have these mods made a difference for you? -Ryan |

you will most likely get 22-24 if you sell it and buy a duramax diesel truck ... no offense. but i dont think i have ever seen or had my mpg that high.

the more efficient your engine is, the less fuel it uses, i know its not a supra but my scion has i/h/e and i get on average about 6mpg more than stock. i can get 38 highway and 26-28 city. so free things up abit and you should be able to get better milage

convert 23 mpg to kilometers per liter - Google Search
23 miles per gallon = 9.77830527 kilometers per liter one US gallon = 3.78541178 liters  Sorry for the bold, it just comes out that way, and apparently copy/pastes that way too.

Yup, around there would be best. I'm getting slightly above 20 right now, but I REALLY putz around. I don't floor it from stop sign to stop sign, my boost controller *never* goes positive (stays in vacuum), especially when its cold, and I usually stay around 70 on the highway nowadays. Before I'd cruise at 90 in the passing lane, but now I realize I don't give a ****...I'd rather save gas than time.
You have to get used to driving like that, really, you can't just do it. Once you do though its easy to go from 'super gas saving civic driver' to 'highway romper'.

For the best performance/fuel economy the manual states:
from 1st - 2nd: 15mph from 2nd - 3rd: 25mph from 3rd - 4th: 40mph from 4th - 5th: 45mph It's true does kinda balance the two out, but who wants to go the speed limit?  Plus remember higher octane does not mean cleaner burning or better fuel economy.... |
