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 |

I'm averaging 30 mpg, try to keep it below 3k RPM or at 3k on the highway
There's already a thread or six about this on here though. I predict the magic thread-closing wand of snapshot or manphibian soon --------------------  |

Usually I get about 29-30 mpg with a lot of highway driving...
Last tank of gas I got about 23-24 mpg, b/c of: new 17's installed, four wheels + tires inside the car, and A/C blasting most of the time. There are a number of things listed in the other posts that you can do to improve gas mileage. Good luck! |
