95 st mpg..... - 6G Celicas Forums
You could probably benifit from a tune up.
ya i was thinking that, any thing specific besides the usual fluids, filters, plugs and wires ?
check your tire pressure and consider replacing the o2 sensor. Those are really the two main factors that affect mpg on an older car.
but 25mpg is not bad. you are probably driving more city than highway.

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
go with a tune up and just drive conservatively; I drive 30+ miles to and from school and I use around a gallon per day

tune up + watch your right foot. it affects mpg most

Depending on elevation too. Back home in Ft. Worth, it's about ~600 ft above sea level, I'll get about 30mpg mixed. But when I'm at school in Albuquerque (~5,300 ft above sea level) I only get about 24-25mpg.

25 is pretty bad for a 7afe celica.
yeah. temp does affect it. i lose about 3-5 mpg when its hot. mix of air density & air conditioner usage, and also fan usage(the power to run those comes freom somewhere...) i assume

A cold air intake would probably help.

More air into the motor = more fuel used.

plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and most important the 02 sensor.
I used to get 34 with my ST way back in the day, with an intake (32 w/stock airbox, I know, it sounds crazy)

34 would be so nice, as soon as funds allow ill be making a CAI for it as well as the tune up should help. thx for the info guys!

I would just replace the stock tubing from the filter box to the intake with a pipe, and get a drop in filter. That is if you want to get better mpg while having the car sound a little better
