say bye bye to celi..., being sold Options

[Valo666]

So, after being at school for about a month now and i have to drive roughly 70KM each way. So with my car runnin rich and because of the weight of it, im suckin gas like a pig. I have to fill up every 2days and its costing me around $55 per fillup. So ive decided that im gonna sell the celica. So hopefully if my dad likes this AE86 im lookin at, the celi is goin up on autotrader.ca in a week or so. So this is gonna b my new car, if it passes my dads seal of approval.








So im like 60% sure the celi is going bye bye. Ill let every one know.

1) celi's are supposed to get pretty good mileage
2) every 2 days?
3) $55 a fill up? How?

[Valo666]

gas is $1.25/L around here..well its down to $1.00/L. And yea every two days cuz i drive 60 or 70KM each day, each way, and i get stuck in traffic, then i also gotta go 2 work, go shopping, run erins..so on. Also im suckin more gas than u are. ur runnin on a ST, ur only goin 1.8. I got a 5sfe. Plus it takes me like 40 min of stop n go traffic for traffic to actually move more than 20KM/H. Toronto traffic is horrible man and just being in it and staying in first or second gear burns alot of gas. When its clear and im duin like 100km/h, my fuel ecno is great. its just sittin in traffic on the way 2 school n on the way back that sucks. It took me almost 2 and a half hours to get home one day cuz of traffic.

that's a sweet ae86, looks nice and clean
i know how u feel with the gas issue, i pay almost the same amount as you with this gas prices and the horrible gas milege of our celicas...i'll be selling my celica aso -.-

i travel 20miles each way to work everyday which totals at 40miles, and there's traffic everyday, takes me more than an hour to get to work. i have a 5sfe tooo... i got shopping run errands etc... and i fill up every 4 days...... so i don't see how you actually fill up every 2 days.. oh btw.. i fillup 3/4 of the tank. not full tank too. and fill up when there's 1 bar left. gas price is now 3.29 for 93 octane. and so i wonder the reason ya selling the celi

[azian_advanced]

it's too bad you're selling the celi... but hey, you made a good choice on a good downgrade... that AE86 looks pretty sweet. 5spd, twin cam, hatchback, good condition.. good find!

Yea, i was rele supprised when i saw it in person. The car is like mint all the way around and its soooooo sweet to drive. Its sooooo ridgid and sooo good for handeling. Givin it is slower than the celi, but its soooo much fun to drive. The car is like..godly..lol Only thing is im gonna have to do an overhaul on the motor and the diff soon. The motor im just gonna replace/rebuild another one and drop it in. But yea, i talked to my parents today and i got the carfax report from the guy whos sellin it and its mint, 2nd owner. First owner owned it from 86-02 and this guy since 02. Its sick.

hey... my gas mileage is awful too. maybe it's just canada. i'm lucky to see 350km/tank... just for all you americans, that's 218 miles! and i fill up for.... hm, ~$50. yeah it sucks! a lot! makes me not want to drive my car AT all, and selling has come to mind too...

[purplegt4]

ew 218 mptank? i get like 350-400mi. per tank gas prices just dropped to 2.89 for regular around here. just dont act like ur on the track all the time

EDIT: actually maybe a tune-up would help you out also

wow last night sucked. I put $30 of perimium in at $1.08 and it didnt even bring me up to half tank..it was like 4/10ths of a tank and i drove from the gas station to my work, to my gfs, and home n that took probably 1/8th of what i had in there off.

[Driveby]

Hehe, you guys have it good! it £1 per litre ($1.87 litre) over here and the GT4 gets like 200 miles to $100 and thats just my commute to work a week with no fun to speak of.

[behindthesmile]

man thats sucks bryan but yeah its times like these that i'm happy i have an st... but man thats a clean looking 86... hmmmm drifting

[celicast3sgte]

anyone thought of replacing the fuel filter? 94 to 05 is 11 years of dirty cheap gas from previous owners cause you know they didnt care what went in it.

[Valo666]

did that, didnt help. I replaced the fuel filter, cap n rotor, wires, plugs, rad hoses and PCV valve all when i bought the car. And since then ive probably put on 10000km.

n yes paul..hmmm drifting..lol

[Cutrara]

Have you replaced your oxygen sensors?

[Valo666]

it was replaced when i bought the car cuz the guy had the original in it.

[popstar]

Damn that thursty.......

i'm driving in the city every day...... 20km in 2 hours to get home each night and i still get about 12km to the litre.....

[jess_i_74]

Wow, really feel sorry for you with mileage that bad.

Mixed country driving in my Celica with the 2.2 GT engine and a manual transmission regularly nets me 29-30 mpg and a range of about 450 miles to the tank (though of course I usually fill up before then.) I don't visit the gas station but every two weeks or so. And this is with the top down pretty often too.

Thats actually one of the reasons I went with the Celica in the first place: small car + 4 cyl engine + 5 sp manual = good fuel econ.

[wind]

your milage sucks.

I drive 70km a day and get 750km per tank. sometimes 800km

you think the ae86 is gonna get better milage? good luck with that.
