Guest rogersgti Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 hi guys, im just looking into buying a supra and was wondering how much you spend on fuel amonth. the car will be taking me 2 work and home which is 10 miles each way. how many miles to a full tank driving at the speed limit and sensibley. cheers paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 you can work out hopw much you drive but roughly for me in my NA £20 does me 110 miles around town. i also spend £20 in summer driving at weekend easily, if you have an aerotop im sure that will go up! so for me £40 a week so £160. Well that was a long way to a short answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffSupra Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I sometimes spend 100 welsh pounds a week, and i dont drive it every day. Its Been said before on this forum, if your worried about the amount of money you want to spend on fule, Dont buy a supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rogersgti Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 im not that bothered its just i have a 106 gti on throttle bodies that gives me 194 to 39quid so a supra might be cheaper and more fun plus a better car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 gives me 194 to 39quid always a pounds short of that big 40 Well £40 quid for me would get me about 220 so in reality probably about the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffSupra Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Dont for get a TT will go through more fule than a n/a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rogersgti Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 not sure which model to go for. got quotes on tt and na and the tt is less for some reason. anybody else found this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 The N/A is like a COOL-looking Vauxhall Omega 3.0 {that's being brutally honest . . . we HAVE one ! ! } The TT is a true Supercar performance-wise. The ONLY downsides to the TT are it takes a little more RESPECT to drive/control in the wrong conditions (the N/A doesn't really) AND it's SOOOOOOO much more of a drain on yer wallet... ...NOT due to normal running costs (tyres/petrol etc NOT much dearer really) it's because you CAN increase it's performance so much easier, and, sooner or later, you WILL ! ! ! However, given some more time, and a few more thousand, we probably WILL get a TT again eventually......i'll just let me uvver arf hold onto me wallet from then on ! ! ! ! FatS.

Kopite Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 got quotes on tt and na and the tt is less for some reason. anybody else found this Yep because the NA is import only, a lot of people don't find them much cheaper on insurance than the import TT is. UK TTs are cheaper on the insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rogersgti Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 yer tell me about it. ive can insure a tt uk spec one for 1250 or import 4 1800 and im only 21 and no no claims. my 106 cost me 1300 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 How much more fun the Supra is compared to a Pug. Not many Uk spec TT's around for sale now, you would be lucky to find one. Insurance wise a UK TT is cheaper to insure than an import NA or import TT. But you do need to treat a TT with respect or it will bite your ar*e off. Plus the extra running costs like what upgrade to buy next and how much more power can I get. Good luck and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wackojacko Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I've had my SZ (non turbo) for 7 days now, and although i had prepared myself for the fuel consumption, they do like a drink. Buy a J-spec one and pay the extra insurance. It'll work out cheaper....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
