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?

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.

Do you know how many RPM's your engine turns at 60 MPH? 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:
