ecconomy

lethalwithasupra · 01-27-2006, 07:04 AM

just when i think its all ok. few weeks ago my supra does about 450 km's to a tank, i know that's bad. now it seems back to normal-for my car. what can anybody suggest to get some ecconomy back ( back ? ). i love this car. its an auto so its just so easy to drive.

i told myself i'd drive my corolla when i didn't feel like spending money on tires or fuel ... the corolla wont start, its sat so long the battery is totally shagged

450kms a tank is GOOD! i get really bad km's with my car. i checked it out, our cars are supposed to be 19mpg combined (highway and city driving). so i just plugged it iinto kms, and we should average about 400kms per tank. but i get about 300-350.

Throw unreasonable amounts of fuel system cleaner into it, check for vacuum leaks or leaks through the intake pipe cuz they can develop cracks that one could neglect to notice. Or you could lose some of that right-foot weight.

Bit of a street racer, I guess. I'm told they're fast. Delivering it home with a friend driving the Supra for the first time. I drop gears and make a scream from the twin pipes flowing down this pony's flanks and it takes off like it's tail's on fire. I look back when the Honda gets to its tap-out and the Supra's only two lengths behind. No one I've let ride my bike has told me its slow, they've all loved the thing. That car is a good thing indeed.
