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.

Do a tuneup on the car too, new spark plugs and such, and check your tire pressure. I drive 75-80 MPH on the highway, shift at 4k RPM almost every shift, and have a bad alignment and still get between 28 and 30 mpg with my GT. I'm guessing you have some sort of mechanical issue that's causing the poor mileage.
How's your alignment? A bad alignment could make your gas mileage suffer too, even if the car "seems to drive straight." This post has been edited by blu94gt: Jun 18, 2010 - 11:08 AM -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
