So every car has an optimum speed to achieve the best MPG, I am curious if anyone knows what the optimum speed is for our celicas?
Both 5SFE and 7AFE. I know there is an acutal formula to figure it all out, but i dont have it anymore:( thanks -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2

If you're REALLY wanting to improve your gas mileage, then start looking around at hypermiling sites. there's different driving techniques that can help you increase your gas mileage. After reading a little bit about it and experimenting around with different things, I improved my gas mileage in my work car (hyundai tiberon) from 30 to 36mpg. Generally I think that slower is better mpg wise, but it seems that the biggest gains can be from slowing down your acceleration.
