Starting to hate my celica now..., Gas goes down so fast... Options

[howie_vang]

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.

When mine was on the road and working i drove to work everyday and back average about a 20-35mile round trip bc i took the scenic route back for the curves and such.... but i was averaging around 30mpg i filled up once a week maybe sometimes it would last over a week almost 2 or more. And i drive 75-80mph and i shift around 4-5K. And sometimes i drive faster like at night on the interstate or something when no ones really out on the roads and i want to clear my mind and i still average around 30mpg. Something really must be wrong with the car or something bc i had full 2.25 exhaust 4-1 header and a 4in intake.
