Bobbeh Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I'm UK spec, usually get 330 miles to a tank when the light starts flashing, its good for well over 400, maybe 450, if you do mainly motorway miles and push it to the limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 well mine amazed me by getting 360 mile to just over 3/4's of a tank. That's was steady 60/70 short blasts of 100 + seeing off 1 Scooby upto silly leptons. That was all in one trip but generally I'm seeing 320 to a tank.

Steviekid Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I've always been too scared to work out my mpg, I just don't want to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartworm Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 did about 20miles south of glasgow to inverness and back on a full tank recently in my TT, running empty by theend but it was 4 in the morning and I didnt want to stop! so I did 335 miles for £70.

tDR Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Think the facelift has a smaller tank as I seem to fill up from bone dry on around £60 of Optimax. I get 250 miles per tank tops from this and enjoy every minute of it with foot down more often than not My older TT's seemed to take more to fuel up so think they had a bigger tank. Things like Walbro fuel pump (which I have) seem to cause a little more fuel useage because of the slightly increased (around 3 or 4psi) base fuel pressure. I'm BPU also running a 4000 stall TC.

silvershark44 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 my jap spec tt only takes about 60 ltrs when the light has come on. So obviously there is about 10 ltrs left, which about right for a reserve fuel level. Im getting about 280 miles to £60 / ltrs of optimax with mixed driving, a few blasts of laying down the law included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Supra Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 BPU J-Spec £60 = 240 miles for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-macca Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Interesting reading this, in relation to my thread in technical about a possibly shagged O2 sensor.. I'm a roughly BPU UK TT manual and getting 210-260 miles from about £85 fuel. Have seen just about 300 driving like a pansy though. Mixture of town and b-road driving. Drive to work and back totally off boost quite often but like to play now and again. Amazed that some people are getting more miles than that out of a J-spec TT when they have smaller tanks. Either you guys drive like you're 90 or I DO need a new O2 sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 The auto will always have a couple of mpg disadvantage like-for-like. It is built in the design, no way round it. It is the other side of the 'easy to drive' coin. Can't have it both ways. Also remember that it is a heavy car, with wide wheels (rolling resistance + frontal area). Not exactly an econobox, maybe we should all adopt a whale to make for our extra C02 contributions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 When I first got my car I was like "driving Miss Daisy" - and managed just over 26mpg average. Sadly, now I'm used to the car, it's nothing like that anymore But cruising on the motorway I can still get around 24mpg. btw, Chris Wilson also sells O2 sensors but they aren't the Toyota ones and as such need to be spliced / soldered onto the existing wiring. No problems at all with mine, and it's very easy to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 My auto used to average 220-250 for a tank full with varied/enjoyable driving, whereas the manual returns roughly 250-290 with the same style driving. If I'm very careful and light on the throttle I can easily get over 300, and the best I've ever seen is about 370 from a tankfull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonas Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Jspec = 70litres Uk = 80litres iirc I usually get ~290 miles on a BPU jspec. I've got a UK spec which only holds 70 litres:innocent: and I get roughly 280 to 300 miles for that £70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-macca Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I expect you've never driven it low enough, I've never put 80 litres in mine as I've never had the balls to drive it long enough to empty the tank, it's not a good idea! If you can put 70 litres in it, it's definitely bigger than 70 litres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can put 70 litres in it, it's definitely bigger than 70 litres I hope so cos itsa strange tank I think. The light comes on when the needle shows quite a bit left on the gauge. I was panicking the other day when I was going through the Mersey tunnel with the light beaming!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Seriously though, if you are worrying about Fuel then Dont buy a Supra. YOu need deep pockets to run a Supra properly in servicing adn fuel alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
