15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
12mpg

alright.... no one hit the exact number, but dustinkemp got the closest. the car got 19mpg of very hard driving.

Dang... not to shabby..... 19 on hard driving.. now lets see.. if you take it easy... that could be over 20... haha

darn, i was only off by about 10 mpg. 19's pretty good for agressive city driving with a turbocharged car. your car just became a lil more awesomer.

i just looked up the specs for the new evo9. they get 19 city and 25 highway. so im guessing i could do the same for highway milage.

i also think my mpg was worse before i recirculated the bov, but maybe its in my head. i kind of wish i checked it so that i had a before and after to comapre to.

Then unrecirculate it!! haha! Actually, im sure that you actually do get a noticeable MPG increase with it recirculated.

Lowest I got, City Driving + boosting, is 21,25 mpg. Highest is close to 33 mpg.

Compared to the 3S-GE not bad considering that POS did 20 City 24 Highway ( J/K on the POS part biggrin.gif )

thats not bad for a motor that comes stock with 550cc injectors.

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
Not really surprising at all. Decently modded MR2's acheive the same numbers, no reason why a celica with the same engine couldn't. And circulating your bov WILL improve gas mileage for sure. smile.gif

Uhuh... after I drove the car back from the swap I already needed to fill it up. Then run the tank dry in 1,5 days biggrin.gif biggrin.gif and got these numbers. But I think on the track it cant be higher then 15mpg smile.gif But it will be some time when I'm going to do that. First Hood and brake upgrade.

Highway numbers are extremly fun. But I think # 1 reason for it is the shorter F/D in the gearbox.

WTH... 19MPG, with hard driving?! That's crazy... I get 15 mpg... and that's normal driving. kindasad.gif

Is this good enuff 4 ya? :D
if you only get 20mpg on a stock 5sfe, then there is something wrong. might need a new o2 sensor, a tune up, or your tire presure is low.

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
It certainly is possible to get very high 20's with a 5s.
