Seafoam's great. I use it about every 10,000 miles... About every third oil change. That reminds me I'm also due for a tranny fluid change.

I got 500 miles/tank on an all highway trip.

Do all of you guys seriously only put 87 in your cars? I mean I know its an economy engine that can run on 87 but they'll run better with 92. And as far as price difference at 24 cents per gallon more with a 14 gallon tank we're talking like an extra 3 bucks per fill-up. I use 92 and I get about 400 to a tank, (I need new plugs and wires and a compression test, i think I can get more)

eh, a difference in opinion there about 87 vs. 92 grade if you're running stock motors...(shoot, low boost turbo motors can run safely on 87.)

I'm wondering what/how the weather affects mileage myself. When I bought my ST in July, I was averaging 400 miles to a tank, mostly highway but it was stop and go commuter traffic. Within the last month or so I've done the Seafoam treatment, replaced my fuel filter, changed the oil (put in synthetic blend), oil filter, spark plugs (to NGK platinum), cap & rotor and air filter. Still need to do the wires, I know. But since it's gotten cold (about 35 when I leave in the morning, maybe 40 tops at night when I leave work) I'm averaging like 360 a tank. Kinda disappointing.

Would cleaning the throttle body help any with this, ya think?

i've heard 2-3 ounces of actetone in the tank per 10 gallons of gas. it breaks the hydrocarbon molecules into smaller size for a complete burn. but i dunno how it would be on the injector or rings.

Acetone as in the stuff found in nail polish remover? I'd think that would be horrible for your gaskets and anything rubber, that stuff is really harsh on plastic/rubber. They even make non-acetone nail polish remover for that exact reason! (it like melts acrylic nails)

You need some injector cleaner and a good tune up. I push 475 constantly on mine, thats highway and city driving combined for about 50/50 each way. 87 Octane for that as well. I bet I could push over 500 if I ran the tank to half a gallon.

wow my lil st is only getting 240-300 miles per tank depending on how i drive and theonly mods i have r my sri and exaust >_< i wonder why im loseing so much in mpg oh well

Hi all,

I am getting 600-700km per tank. (converts to about 370-430miles) I do city and highway, but my highway is usually in peak hour, so virtually all city driving.

I have been happy with that, but anything better is always welcome.

I'll try some injector cleaner and see if that helps, and my spark plugs are due to be changed (original and the car has done just under 70,000km's)

How big is the fuel tank of a 6th gen ? I know it says 60L but that hasn't workout for me. I had the fuel light on for a few K's. filled up and it only took 48L's. Another time I had a quarter left, filled up and it only took 34L's. Makes me think its a 50L tank.

I too have thought about running my gt with only 3/4 to 1/8 full to shave off fuel weight.

I think you misunderstood me. I always have a full tank topped off. I meant if I ran it down to 1/2 a gallon left in the tank that I could probably push 500.

Heh, its not really that hard folks. If you learn to properly drive you should be pulling over 400 a tank in a ST easily. I had my buddies Eddie Bauer Explorer pushing 25 mpg on our last trip when he can only average 18. I dont think his onboard dash has ever read anything over 20mpg when he has been in it.

Its just understanding how much throttle is needed, when to let off, etc. Even if I pull spirited driving trips 3-4 times a week at night, plus driving in DC traffic I will still end up with over 400 every tank.



There is also no reason to run 90+ octane in a stock Celi. Sure its only $3 extra to fill up, but running that every day is just pointless. Now if every 5k miles you run 90+ to give a clean burn then thats one thing.

Can anyone confirm the size of the fuel tank in a '99 6th gen ?

Supposed to be 60 Litre's.

That's where I'm at on my 97 St202. Got 34mpg off the last tank.

Keeping the revs below 3k is the key.

Mine is about a tad over 400, never over 410. But 475 is amazing. My mission this week is to beat that record!

Well I have a 95 ST and my buddy has a 97 GT and according to the Toyota owners manuals we have 14 gallon tanks. Dunno the conversion to litres off the top of my head.

Cool, thats what I worked out too. That seems about right. I dont know where this 60L's came from, but it seems the standard spec for 6th gen on sites I have seen.

I dont know. Its either the f*****n cold weather or my new exhaust (with the occasional WOT ) I cant get it above 17-19mph anymore. Ah well. Less driving untill winter is gone

Could it be 60L excluding things like baffles, fuel pump and whatever other hardware exists inside a fuel tank? I've never put more than 48-49L in my tank.

I once put 13.9 gallons in my 14 gallon tank. That was a nervous drive to the gas station. I've never shifted so low.

I put the courtesy door light bulb in my gas tank this morning to muffle its rattling noise.

Side note: somewhere on this board is a thread about MPG - I don't have half an hour to spend looking for it, but someone made a post about figuring out your mileage w/out having to know your tank's capacity:

Fill up once, drive, blah blah blah, fill up again and note how much gas went in on 2nd fill up. Divide number of miles, km, whatever on odometer by qty. of gas put in, and resulting # gives you your mpg.

I average 28 but since it's gotten cold I'm getting like 26. Gonna (HOLY CRAP THE SUN IS OUT!!!) clean the throttle body this weekend if it's not pouring and see if that helps a tad.

i'm getting about 250 miles on a tank... about 23-25 mpg... I think it should be higher since i don't rev it high often at all..... I need to do a tune-up and see if that helps..

i just checked mine, i'm getting about 19 mpg.
and it's mainly because i'm using a 'hot' thermostat making it run less efficient but helps the coolant heat up faster. an avg of 6 min remote start running time about 4 times a day (to and from school and work), and also because of all the snow i run over which is slowing me down a lot more.
