6G Celicas Forums

I just skimmed this thread and am very surprised at the mileage many GT owners are getting.

I've owned my 94 GT since late 94. When I got it, it had 264 miles and had been hit hard in the front (dealer demo car). We repaired it & I've been driving it since.

I don't think in the 140,000 miles I've driven it, I've ever averaged less than 25mpg under any driving conditions (and the first 100K miles rarely saw a shift below 5000 RPM in the first few gears).

I typically get about 28 to 29mpg under my driving conditions which range from 50/50 city hwy to probably 20/80 city hwy. The vast majority of my fill ups are probably at around 28mpg. Rarely I get as low as 27 and I've seen as much as 30.

If these cars were equipped with another gear to get the RPMs down, I bet mid 30's on the road would be commonplace.

I typically get around 330 to 350 miles before filling up. I've had 400+ mile tanks rarely. Doesn't seem to matter much how I drive it - mileage will only vary a little.
