hey i just want to check my numbers if im wrong then im worried i cant do simple math
i calculated getting 18 mpg in the city on my stock 1997gt 5 spd/5sfe now i can drive a stick pretty well but every once in a while i buck a little...basically its just not as smooth as an auto....im wondering if anyone else can give me there numbers...i was thinking with toyota id be getting better even in city but its pretty stop and go which is kiling me with the 5 spd. however im going off to college where its mostly interstate so not so much a big deal anyway any numbers would be helpful...thanks |

WHOA!! 18? N/A or Turbo'd?
B/c i'm N/A and i get closer to 30-35ish range... (but i could use a tune up) You might want to look into replacing some plugs, filters, ect. Something is dramatically wrong with your car if your getting 18.

wow, my auto 5sfe gets better than that...I'd say it's time for a tune up. Also, how are you driving it? that can change it alot (heavy on the gas, taking turns fast..ext)

Wow, I wish I was getting 30mpg. I guess I romp on my poor little 7A too much, and by too much I mean I can't stop. I usually only get around 25.

25-28 on average.
When you "fill up" about how many gallons are you putting in it? i usually put in around 13 gallons with around 350 on the trip odometer... i cant really think of why that would matter, but then again i am very tired lol -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2

well thats a start.
i'd get: plugs, wires, distributor and cap, both O2 sensors, fuel filter, PCV valve... run a can of sea foam in your next tank of gas tooo. your getting horrible gas mileage. you may actually have a leak. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

PCV valve is on your valce cover; it has a vacuum line that runs to the intake, too
