Celica's Fuel Economy - 6G Celicas Forums

Alright I hope this clears up any misconceptions on what our cars >> was>> getting. Some of the people on this board have gotten outrageous fuel economy, which in turn has discourage other members into believing how bad of a condition their car is in.

First off, fuel economy has many factors that effect it. Some of these factors are age, health, weight, how you drive, model (to some degree) So please take these things into consideration when reading this chart.

I hope this information has been of some used.

*This information was taken from Toyota's specification sheet. I was able to duplicate it with rights, while I was a part-time parts representative.*

Its not my typical DIY but its pretty damn useful. aha

- my celica was getting 12.8L/100kms (I had a half a dime size hole in the front pipe) it was recently replaced with another used pipe. I am now getting 10.8L/100kms mixed of highway and city driving + lead foot aha LESSON TO LEARN: FIX YOUR EXHAUST LEAKS!!!

How do you guys measure this?

fill your tank then drive 100 miles then fill your tank again , note the amount of gallons you had to refill with, then divide miles by gallons and it will tell you your mpg

anddd the 2011 v6 mustang weighs 3580lbs with a 180 pound driver..and the celica ST is like what, 2500lbs? come on now are we really going to argue this?
esp when my old 94 mustang 3.8 v6 got 16 mpg city with a 10 gallon gas tank.. ya 160 miles to a tank, which is y i drive a celica now lol.

oh and the 2011 v6 mustang runs 14.33 on the 1/4 mile with 240 stock rwhp.. not to bad out of a 3500 pound stock v6 that has 19/31 mpg at 305 hp

Heres the thing you have to consider "thruway" mpg. In my case highway is 55 and thruway (depending where you are) is 65. If I drive at highway speeds I can get over 40mpg or around that, and if I drive at thruway speeds I can get high 30's. with a small amount of city driving, along with going up and down mountains, added with going about 70mph I was able to travel 300+ miles on about 9-10 gallons of fuel, so I avg. a little more than 30mpg. Anyone has similar results?

I have gotten up to 600 miles on a tank with around 200K miles on my car, that's an average of 37.3 MPG

NYp8tBaller07, I get about the same mileage as you when I travel from Midcoast Area in Maine to Boston for school on the interstate

I get like 320 miles until my gas light comes on. Then when I fill it it takes about 12 gallons.

320/12 = 26.7

37mpg highway.. gosh that is such total and utter bullcrap.

I got a 98 manual and the best I ever got was about 30mpg highway driving down in Florida and I was driving highway for hours at a time.

I usually get about 26-29 mpg 75% highway 25% city.

37mpg is total bullcrap. No way.

Just went to Flordia, from SC.

8 Hour drive.

443 mile trip. 12 gallon tank, perspectively 36 miles a gallon. Got to the hotel on fumes, but made it.

159k on engine, no major changes to engine. Big speaker enclosure in the hatch. Manual Trannie.

Went between 65-75mph whole way.

I know this is for real, being I charge my employer mileage, and get my gas receipts paid back.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the tank is 16 gallon. So you were getting 27-30 mpg which is typically what I get.

hmm i have never been able to put more than 13.5 gallons in mine, i guess it means i can drive on E alot longer then i thought

do not drive your car till its gets to e or until the gas light shows up. It's recommended by the manufacture of all car companies to keep your gas tank filled above the quarter line. This way your fuel pump is always being cooled by the fuel inside the gas tank!!! or else your fuel pump will eventually seize over time...

3rd gen 3s-gte.

While cruising normal, average of 10 liter per 100 km
Normal cruising, with traffic-light sprints 12,5 liter per 100km
Fast cruising 20 liter per 100km
Averages of city and highway together

These are factory specs:
At 90 km/h: 7.5 liter/100 km
At 120 km/: 9.4 liter/100 km
City: 11.6 liter/100 km

I guess I have to change my driving style
