I have a 97 Celica GT 2.2 li and these cars are not gas saver at all. The gas drop like everything time you step on the gas pedal..what can be done? I am starting to hate driving it cause i can't afford gas no more it it takes $40.00+ to fill it up. I travel 30 miles to work everyday and I almost have to gas twice a week. Sometimes I wish i could have bought a Honda Civic. I mean seriously this car ain't that fast but it uses so many gas compare to Acuras and Hondas..Maybe thinking about selling my car now, but i will hate to see it go.

Sell the car and do yourself a favor. If you can't get more than 25 mpg out of this car, then you need another car...maybe a diesel VW or a hybrid like the Civic. Seriously. I can easily get at least 33 mpg in my GT and over 38 mpg in my ST. No point in driving a car you hate.
