Ian R Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 its about what I get 240 miles from full to 1/4 tops remember if u r running sequential a turbo is normally always on song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I'm sure if I did 100 on motorways and pushed it on normal roads I wouldn't get any more then 250. I've been driving like an old man for the last few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 You know what? I'm going to make a cd of the second turbo sound and listen to it while doing below 4k:limp: Like the sound of that. What you save on fuel you'll pay for a little man to shove you hard in the chest at every island/traffic lights. I get 19mpg out of mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean1933 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 It means, bump it to the TOP of the list, so people read it and post some more....I really wanted to know how to clean the O2 Sensor, OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Full to empty approx 280 miles so in and around 17 MPG as far as I calculated. About £56 to fill the 60 litre tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cered Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 £25 at £1.15 a litre and getting 90miles with 75% A road and 25% town driving. BPU, standard boost, decat. Tiptronic vvti. Think I worked it out at 18.9mpg. Does this seem low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdMorris Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Well, for what its worth, I get 250 miles on a tank. But then I do have a 5.0ltr V8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 160 miles on a £70 tank for me.. I am single Turbo.. But 350 miles on a full tank I don't think I'v ever seen, even when BPU lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cered Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 When I bought it the previous owner said he got 320miles to a full tank of V power but only motorway run I did returned about 270miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cered Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 He may have been a slower driver than you lol He was in London so may have been out of necessity I'm replacing the fuel filter, two new tires and aligning so hopefully that improves things.

ianhid Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I get 22-24mpg on a mix of in town and dual carriageway 70ish stuff. Replaced the O2 sensor and made my money back in 3 months, it was a bit shocking before doing that. Also worth checking to see if you have a sticky brake, that does affect your ability to go anywhere with reasonable mpg... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbiemercman Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I just had the NA/T conversion running one bar boost and with the hammer down 17mpg, with just running about getting 20 mpg. prior to the NA/T was getting 20mpg no matter how i drove the car. Very happy though as the performance is very fast and smooth just as you want it. Herbie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cered Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 hmmm, something must be amiss. time for a techhelp thread I think. Like I know my MPG isn't a disaster but a few niggles I have are making me paranoid that something is amiss with the car. I don't hoon it around everywhere, it's my daily drive now so at work every one or two trips it gets a 5 second blast up a dual carriageway when it's warmed up which I doubt would kill my MPG too much over the course of 90miles say Thanks for the input, gives me an idea of what I should be getting!

ashloys Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) I haven't bothered even working mine out, can't be much more than yours cered lol maybe even less! haha What price are the O2 sensors and how many do you need?

cered Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Yeah its not something you'd want to know with a Supra but i'm just worried something is wrong seems the average turbo mpg is 20-22mpg for urban driving though and about 24-28 on motorways For mine it was one o2 sensor as its a facelift vvti one. I think for yours it'd be two sensor upstream/downstream. Easy enough to replace if the nuts aren't too rusty on it.Just takes some wrist limbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianhid Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 My J-spec non-vvti only takes one o2 sensor, think it's just the UK's that need two (could be wrong...). There are non-oem sensors that will fit and are much cheaper, you need an adapter plate for them though. I changed mine myself using a reasonably fresh 2nd hand part. The threads can be properly tight and it's a little awkward to get to but not a terrible job. About 20-30 mins if not seized solid. Before doing that though, jack it up and try spinning each wheel. See if you've got a brake that's stuck. Unsticking that will massively improve things if it's the cause. I was getting 8mpg with a stuck rear, got so hot you could smell it but it was pretty bad.
