hey i just want to check my numbers if im wrong then im worried i cant do simple math
i calculated getting 18 mpg in the city on my stock 1997gt 5 spd/5sfe now i can drive a stick pretty well but every once in a while i buck a little...basically its just not as smooth as an auto....im wondering if anyone else can give me there numbers...i was thinking with toyota id be getting better even in city but its pretty stop and go which is kiling me with the 5 spd. however im going off to college where its mostly interstate so not so much a big deal anyway any numbers would be helpful...thanks

WHOA!! 18? N/A or Turbo'd?

B/c i'm N/A and i get closer to 30-35ish range... (but i could use a tune up)

You might want to look into replacing some plugs, filters, ect. Something is dramatically wrong with your car if your getting 18.

18, a great number, but not if ur lalkin about gas milage

I'm getting atleast 30 mpg with my 7afe (city) and atleast 35 (highway).

wow, my auto 5sfe gets better than that...I'd say it's time for a tune up. Also, how are you driving it? that can change it alot (heavy on the gas, taking turns fast..ext)

taking turnes fast help mpg numbers
but wears tires

so i take em at 20 in 2nd, then instantly shift to 3rd after the turn

shift points at about 2,300 rpm, i get average 34 mpg

I'd hate to tell you what speeds and gears I take corners at half the time Ask D-man - I think I heard him shart

Seriously tho - you're either not calculating correctly or your getting really bad gas mileage for a N/A car.

well you know.. i used to take them pretty fast, i mean i'd slide around nearly every corner.
then i went through 3 sets of tires last year and decided to uh.. slow down a bit
but i still have my moments

today i took a 35 mph turn around at..well started at 40, then ended it close to 65. understeering like no tomorrow, i think i had the wheels turn 2-3 as far as i would of if i werent sliding.

Wow, I wish I was getting 30mpg. I guess I romp on my poor little 7A too much, and by too much I mean I can't stop. I usually only get around 25.

Average 20 miles to the gallon in the Faff

I didnt shat myself... (but i LOL'd )
Your tire shat on the road is what happened
Is that still there

7A = 110HP (I think it was...dont quote me on that) you HAVE to romp on it... just to make it thru the green light... From a red light i'm not much better though

i get about 30miles per gallon

35+ here. Something is wrong!!!

i get bad gas milage not sure how much but it takes almost a quater tank just for 15 miles...how can i fix

would this be a problem?

25-28 on average.

When you "fill up" about how many gallons are you putting in it? i usually put in around 13 gallons with around 350 on the trip odometer... i cant really think of why that would matter, but then again i am very tired lol

well thats a start.
i'd get: plugs, wires, distributor and cap, both O2 sensors, fuel filter, PCV valve... run a can of sea foam in your next tank of gas tooo.

your getting horrible gas mileage. you may actually have a leak.

that matters very little, go get it tuned up.. somethings very very wrong if ur getting 15 miles to a wuarter tank.... thats 60 miles a tank bro... 4 mpg terrible... u gotta be getting better than 15 to a quater....

i think from empty i top off at 15 r 17.....but its been a wile since i filled it up i keep it at half....but i live in lubbock and abenathy is 15 miles out it takes a quarter tank....how many gallons is our tanks....also since iv had the car (1 year)iv never checked plugs nor wires or fuel filter and what is pcv valve......i also run on prem. unleaded...it runs like a champ tho

i believe 15 us gal.

PCV valve is on your valce cover; it has a vacuum line that runs to the intake, too
