Celica's Fuel Economy, MPG and 100km/L Options

[vile_v]

Alright I hope this clears up any misconceptions on what our cars was getting. Some of the people on this board have gotten outrageous fuel economy, which in turn has discourage other members into believing how bad of a condition their car is in.

First off, fuel economy has many factors that effect it. Some of these factors are age, health, weight, how you drive, model (to some degree) So please take these things into consideration when reading this chart.

I hope this information has been of some used.

Its not my typical DIY but its pretty damn useful. aha

- my celica was getting 12.8L/100kms (I had a half a dime size hole in the front pipe) it was recently replaced with another used pipe. I am now getting 10.8L/100kms mixed of highway and city driving + lead foot aha LESSON TO LEARN: FIX YOUR EXHAUST LEAKS!!!

my 5spd GT with the 5sfe gets around 25 mpg. I get to 1/2 tank at about 200 miles, and the light comes on around 325 miles, and it takes about 13 gallons to fill it back up. I keep thinking that I am going to drive around and not accelerate hard and keep it below 3k rpm, and then I say to hell with it spin it all the way up anyway.
especially since I replaced the motor mounts, now I want to go around dumping the clutch as hard as I can just to be amazed by how much soother it is now.

however, what I have noticed is that the given size of the tank is 15.9 gallons. but I don't think the fuel gauge reads in a linear fashion. For if I got to 1/2 tank at 200 miles, I would get to E at 400 miles.
Instead the light comes on when it hits E with 3 gallons still left in the tank. I have filled it as soon as the light comes on many times and found it only needed less than 13 gallons to fill back up.
Once I actually needed to keep driving some 50 miles after the light came on, and I was quite sure I still had at least a gallon left.
So it's like there are 4 gallons for each of the First two quarters of the tank(by the fuel gauge), and about 2 1/2 gallons for each of the last two quarters of the fuel gauge.
