Gas Mileage - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #35985 42 posts Started by redtcel
Just broke 700 kms on a tank, 7.48 lt/100 km = 37.8 miles per gallon = 31.5 miles per US gallon.

about 80% highway, 20% city. 87 octane of course...

95 gt manual trans. mostly highway 29.89 mpg. at 70-90 mph sometimes higher speeds!
On a full tank of gas. Run until empty. Then I fill it as much as possible. Then MORE to make sure its at least the mpg Im getting. The 29 is mostly highway on the way to work. Thats completely stock (wheels, tires, 5s-fe). Calculated many trips 27-29
I usually put 89 on my ST.. would it still run fine with 87??

Ill fill my tank up after the AutoX and see how much I can get
I always run 87 in my cars. If it dont ping your OK!
Old 3S-GE engine 20-22mpg average, best was 28mpg
New 3S-GTE engine 20-30mpg: 20 = boosting, 30= highway/cruising

This may sound VERY strange but its true. With the turbo engine I have less fuel consumption than with my old 3S-GE.

But you can't compare me with most the 3s swappers here, most have a 2nd gen 3s-gte with a US GT tranny and I have the 3rd gen 3s-gte with a "JDM" 3S-GE tranny with has a longer Final Drive/differential.
@ 75 mph I drive @ 3200 RPM where the stock US GT tranny is @ 3800-3900 RPM.

Final Drive
JDM/EU GT tranny: 3.944
US GT tranny: 4.176

JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!
