James Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Not me! I get under 200 miles to a tank without a doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra joe Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 im sure a power boost valve increases fuel pressure and consumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I usually get about 300 odd to the tank if on motorways, but much less normally as it stays in town. Most weeks I only do 30-40 miles but still seem to go through £20 worth of petrol. Everyone tells me I'm mad! I just tell them petrol prices are too high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Im getting about 90-100 miles for 30 quid in my new manual NA (99% Motorway at 70-80mph) without knowing how much fuel that is how can one even begin to calculate the fuel economy.

stevie_b Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 i dont know why people worry so much about it unless its drinkin excessively But people would only know it's drinking excessively by asking the question that the OP asked. (although admittedly it's been asked a few times before ) I get 26 mpg out of my NA, driven sedately. Like Mike's, no performance modifications, 16" wheels, both cats in.

Guest Budz86 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 BTW, has anyone got any ideas how much fuel is in the tank when the red light comes on? From what I hear it seems to vary a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_blackman Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I use to be able to get my supra to do 30mpg when driving like a granny, but generally 26mpg Regualar and good servicing helps make these cars use fuel better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
