I decided to pay close attention to my mileage this week. I'm driving a 94 GT 5-Speed. I don't really go over 70-80 on the highway..but I drive "peppy" on the surface roads (can't help but have fun in the Celica).. I'm getting about 280 a tank. With recent plugs, wires, rotor, cap, distributor. How's your mileage this summer and how do you drive? -------------------- My new, blue spark plug wires gave my Celica, roughly, 250 more horsepower..

i have a block heater.. it's just that my parents think it's a waste of electricity if i leave it on overnight (i can agree to that). they say turning it on in the morning a couple of hours before i leave is ok.. and when i park at the university, i park at the 'cheap' far lot with no power available.
oh yeah, btw we get much harsher winters than you.. i love snow... i just hate the cold. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

OOH wait there, I will not argue with you, but last winter here was the worst ever! I had no blower and no place to put all my snow, it was insane! Buy a timer for the block heater (I guess you have that already ), 2 hours of pre-heating proably only costs like .20 $ of power. -------------------- -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |
