6G Celicas Forums

No problem. I'm not claiming to be an expert here - but I'll trust the people claiming to be experts, and who have data that's been repeatable from other non-biased sources to back up their claims and theories.

so lets compare gearing, my 4spd in the prizm at 60mph in OD with TCC on is running at just about 2100rpm. how about the 4spd or 5spd's in the celicas?

At 55mph I'm at about 2100-2200 RPM in 5th gear.

I shift into 5th at 40 mph to cruise at 2000 rpms... 5th gear at 80 mph is 4000 rpms.

nice for accelleration, terrible for gas milage!

UPDATE! I just averaged 32MPG on my last tank of gas. 400 miles lasted me 3/4 of a tank (I fill up right around 1/4 tank left). I have a 5 speed, and shifted at 2500RPM in between every gear instead of the 3k like I used to do. I also went the speed limit, and was semi-light on the gas. Just wanted to let you guys know it is possible to get great gas mileage.

I just filled up tonight and calculated it out to 21.17 MPG....

no idea...company pays for my gas...:lol:

I do mainly city driving (having to drive from school to school in the district) but sometimes I get on the freeway. I generally average 32-37MPG

Yes, but you're also an ST, I'm a GT.

I do usually 120km/h on the highway and i can get from here to Toronto *430KM* on 3/4 of a tank..so i could probably get around 520KM to a tank...so i donno what that is as L/KM pr MPG

average city driving/some highway

very high 20's/low 30's depends how i drive

I'll get around 400 miles per fill up (running the tank bone dry)

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.

i get 300 miles out of 12.4 gallons , mixed freeway /city driving , not aggressive driving but i usually drive not less than 75 miles per hour on the freeway ... my car is a GT with auto tranny and i am avergin 24 MPG ( not good !)

Let me work this out... For comparrison:-

I filled my car the other day, cost £45.

Petrol/gas is £0.939 a Litre in UK at moment, so

45/0.939 = 47.9233 Litres bought.

UK Imperial Gallon is 4.54 Litres.

47.9233/4.54=10.555 Gallons

I get aroung 300 miles on a full tank too so

300/10.555 = 28.4225 Mpg Average.

I just bought a 94 GT and I do not care what the milage is because the car I am driving now gets between 6-8 mpg. Its a 1969 SS chevelle with an LT4 pushing out 425 rwh. Thats why I got the celica. Be happy with what you have because it could be worse.

I just got from a long highway trip, and got 675 KM on a tank, probably 700 if I were to run dry (7.8l/100 km,, 30 mpg)...I was impressed..I even took a picture hehe.


Just to say GT can have good gas mileage, even with a supposely drag inducting gt-four wing.

Well I get average 450 miles between fill ups, thats filling to brim and its usually about 50 litres I put in. Thats a mixture of motorway and town driving, stick to speed limits going to work but "spirited"driving back Yo!

sadly i get about 21 mpg. but thats w/ alot of "spritied driving" and too much idling. i think im running a little ritch too.

I get about 25 in city, but I have a soopa kick ass crack in my exaust manifold and lead foot. I usually cruise around 2500-3k rpms, usually 3k because I like to hop on it and go.

yeah i knoe what you mean. i did tht for awhile and dipped to 18 MPG
around 3K is where our engine wakes up/is most efficient
