Recently got 41 mpg on a 400 mile trip driving 55-60 mph and have gotten 35-36 mpg on previous trips. Usually get low 30's when I check it with a mix of my normal city/highway driving. Anyone else check their gas mileage?

That's phenomenal gas mileage for a GT, you make me sick.
Mine's more like 25-28, worse when its just in the city. But i need some wheel bearings and an EGR valve. -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.

Yeah, I pretty much only drive city and not much (I ride my bicycle usually).
I'll get maybe 25-28 mpg, but I fill up every 4-5 weeks. When I was driving home to Texas a lot, I'd regularly get 32-34 mpg of pure highway. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

I did a 400 mi trip to buy some rims off craigslist, ended up getting around 44mpg, but hey... it's a stock ST, what else would you expect.

I need to test out my GT with the S51 5th gear swap to document what the actual MPG would. Should probably go for a good 600 mile trip to really see what I can get out of it.

My '99 is actually a little higher then my previous Celica ('89) but still gets better mileage. Probably better aerodynamics. Let us know what you get on a trip. |

I don't usually drive at 60mph so I can't say off the top of my head. Here's the how to: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=92975 |
