whats the mpg like on a supra?

if i hear this question one more time im gona throttle who ever asks me it!

the car has been in the garage for a few days having a few bits and tings done so popped down there this morning out of boredom to see how it was getting along.

got there and the dude had the supra up on the lift and was sorting out the suspension so with me being completely un-technically minded decided to hang around and....well.....watch.

he had pointed out that over the last few days its been there sooo many people who were dropping off their cars were having a gander at mine and all they seemed to want to know was whats the mpg.

i spent 2 hours at the garage and during that time 4 people popped in and started talking to me about the car and the only question they asked was whats the frigging mpg!

then out of no where an old guy, must have been about 70ish, walked past and stopped to have a chat so im waiting for the mpg question but he starts talking about the handling,speed,wheel size, history etc. i was quit shocked/amused by this but found it great talking about things apart from mpg and even found myself asking him does he want to know about the mpg lol to which he replied 'i already know it, its about 20ish mpg!' he must have noticed my confused look as he went onto explian that his son used to have one and was always telling him how he was fed up with people asking him about the mpg of the car!

lol - I wonder if that's a reflection on contemporary society? More bothered about MPG than we are about speed and handling. I'm glad I'm not normal in that case

I blame the government.

It's a bit like when you're cleaning your car, someone always says "you can clean mine next"

Yeah tell me about. I hate it when people ask that bloody question. They always say the same "Nice car, whats the mpg?" AHHH!

lol I always get this its enough to want to throw the bucket at them

Which garage do you use Matt?

i all ways get asked have you got shares in BP whats the mpg like.wish they-ed stop asking ass well gets boring after awhile

if im chattin to someone about my car i like to tell them "it's quite thirsty" before they start on the economy questions. and i do have shares in BP, so at least im getting a bit back lol

Sticky! lol

All i ever hear is, how fast is it, or how much BHP.

you dont really buy a supra for a decent mpg do you really ! and the " you can do mine after" when your cleaning your car is usually replied with "because i love your piece of sh*t enough dont i!" my father in laws heard that a few times! lol

All i ever got was nice car, what have you had out of it!

70!

70!

undercover coppers!

What's the BHP? 0-60? MPG? Can it beat XYZ? Is than an Automatic? Argh!

undercover coppers!

The one that gets me is 'How much did you pay for it?' Nosey bandits. Then when you go to explain it's 15 years old they look at you as if you're simple!

The worst of all "does it have NOS"

Subaru innit?

Is that the old Celica?

I get alot of "Thats nice init" or "Nice car mate" Mainly 13 year old boys. I had some bloke in cornwall ask me it as if it was a question "Nice car, Init?" Dumbasses

I get all of the above, epecially as customer's Audi's think their car's are better than the Supra lol...

I usually answer "If you have to ask you can't afford it" but that tends to get me in trouble on here.

......OMG i own a supra, i dont care!! if i was bothered with mpg i would of bought a friggin yaris!!

about the mpg of the car!

Or as us Irish are always asked, or is that told? "She must ate petrol?"

Which garage do you use Matt?

last year i was using the place in gorseinon (cant remember the name off the top of my head) that specialise in jap cars but it was awkward being so far away. now i use north dock garage not far from the beach and a 2 minute walk from my house. the owner is into his jap cars and has a whole load of them including a supra so he know what he's doing i think/hope!
