ive searched around and have found a couple of threads concerning gas mileage....
i thought i would ask all of you similar question(s) since i also wonder that as well....

1. Type of motor?
2. Tranny, Auto or Manual?
3. Miles on Celica?
4. MPG?
5. Gas grade?
6. What gas station you usually go to?
7. What kind of oil you usually use?

and if you notice any difference when you use a different gas station/grade of gas/oil...let it be known!

if you see that i have something missing lmk so i can edit my post, thanks! smile.gif

automatic
~26
87
shell
mobile 1 5w30


A couple different reason why i get terrible miles is 1) i have an automatic, 2) I live in California with a higher ethanol ratio compared to other states, 3) I do short trips and warm up my car.

I think you should specify which motor you have, since we'll get 3S-GE, 3S-GTE's, 3S-FE's, 5S-FE's, and 7A-FE's.

5S-FE
28-32, and one tank even saw 36.
87-89 (too bad I can't pump 87 anymore frown.gif )
Huck's (not sure if Huck's is nationwide or not.) No real preference as long as it isn't Kroger fuel.
Castrol GTX 10-30

There isn't whole lot that affected fuel economy in the Celica. Just depends on how I drove it.

My Celica has about 188,000 miles on it
1. 5S-FE
2. 32mpg, 30mpg @ 75-80mph on the interstate
3. 87 (My parents both work for an oil company and know for fact that when the delivery trucks run out of a certain grade of gas they pour another grade in to fill the tank, so 87 could be in the 93 tank, fyi)
4. The cheapest within a mile from my house, usually mobile or shell
5. My oil gets changes by Prompto every 2000 miles, I believe its 10w-30, factory spec, plan on switching to castrol highmileage when it reaches 200,000 Miles or maybe my next oil change in 2 weeks, I can't decide
