Jamesy Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 ..... hey all ..... I'm missing my Supra so have decided to put my BMW up for sale - got a fella coming to look this week. I am very tempted to buy another Supra, but this time a non-turbo due to running costs, insurance purchase cost blah blah blah.... After owning a BPU TT i appriciate that i wont be "quite" the same.. but can anyone give me some advice on the running of them, speed and most importantly, what the average MPG is - i've read back on a few threads and i varties massively so if anyone can post up there recent MPG figures in an N/A it'd be a great help. Tar muchly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimojameso Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Sorry to be annoyin but... buy a TT!!!! You will regret it otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I get about 28 Mpg on a decent run. 20mpg when hooning around town and country lanes! You have to get the NA to about 5 - 6k revs to get it to pull well, therefore if you boot it you will go through fuel like fatties go through pies..... H.

marc_p Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I get about 19mpg but I feel that new o2 sensors are needed so will advise when I get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molak Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 ive got an n/a and id say its pretty good, not got figues tho just put £20 in every now and then! you will miss the power tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 You will probably miss the power but the looks are still the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 You just drive NA same like TT - carefull when wet, fast when dry. 0-60 in around 6 sec, max speed around 150 mph, MPG depends how and where you drive - between 20 - 35 MPG. Servicing is dead easy, access to everything except spark plugs is wide open. Reliable, not many things can go wrong, if you change fluids and filters regular.

What he said ^^^ , I bought my n/a auto for economy reasons and dont regret it at all . Enjoy the style mate as when fuel hits 1.50 a litre it will only the fortunate few that can feed several hundred horsepower on a regular basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 cheers guys - i cant afford to buy another TT yet and run it etc.. but the N/a still has the good looks. I just wanted to make sure that the MPG isn't going to be almost as bad as the TT as it kinda ruins my argument for buying one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest poodle Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 so whats the fuel consumption of the TT? Im currently getting about 23mpg out of my alfa 156tspark. which lets be honest is pretty poor considering the output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mattsupra Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 i bought mine from coventry and i live in grimsby which is about 140+ mls and it cost me less than £20 to get home so i think there not too bad really matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I get around 26 mpg from my manual NA. I drive slow most of the time, so might get even more if I were to change the O2 sensors.

turbonut Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Same here as Havard and Konio, as poor as 20ish mpg crawling around town in traffic, as much as 28 mpg on a clear A road or MWay run. Combined miles I get about 320 miles to a tank, less if I'm tanking it everywhere more if I'm avoiding the petrol pumps In terms of maitenance, apart from replacing worn components they are pretty much bullet proof with good fuel, lubricants and regular servicing keeping them in tip top nic Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_blackman Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 My best is 30mpg that was one long trip at a steady 70-80 on motorway and general 20 mins to work and back I was quite pleased but I soon go bored with driving slowly lol..... get about 23 normally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 to a full tank i get around 290 miles in town driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest poodle Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 okay i can live with that kinda consumption, now the burning question, how many litres to a tank (basically my work pays for 1 tank of fuel per week) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero-M Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 worked mine out to be doing 15 one week the next was 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 okay i can live with that kinda consumption, now the burning question, how many litres to a tank (basically my work pays for 1 tank of fuel per week) i'm sure its 70 litres for a UK car and 60 litres for a Jspec....

marc_p Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 i'm sure its 70 litres for a UK car and 60 litres for a Jspec.... Mine takes more than sixty, I think the tanks are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest poodle Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 i read also somewhere that the uk tanks are bigger, this would be more advantagous to me on my "tank per week" deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 J spec is 70 litres I believe. MPG wise Im looking at £35 of V-power for about 130ish miles. Thats in about 10 mile max stints. I too think new O2 sensors are needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
