Celica's Fuel Economy, MPG and 100km/L Options

[vile_v]

Alright I hope this clears up any misconceptions on what our cars was getting. Some of the people on this board have gotten outrageous fuel economy, which in turn has discourage other members into believing how bad of a condition their car is in.

First off, fuel economy has many factors that effect it. Some of these factors are age, health, weight, how you drive, model (to some degree) So please take these things into consideration when reading this chart.

I hope this information has been of some used.

Its not my typical DIY but its pretty damn useful. aha

- my celica was getting 12.8L/100kms (I had a half a dime size hole in the front pipe) it was recently replaced with another used pipe. I am now getting 10.8L/100kms mixed of highway and city driving + lead foot aha LESSON TO LEARN: FIX YOUR EXHAUST LEAKS!!!

So just to update here for those that were interested in how a swap does:

70% City (and heavy foot) I got 19mpg.

95% Highway (and light foot) I got 28.2mpg. (However this 95% highway was on I-80 doing a steady 80MPH. I would anticipate around 32-33 if it was a 55 road and you were doing 55).


As always, your experience may vary.
