I just bought a 97 ST that has 17" with 215/45. The gas mileage is pretty crappy with this car. I just took it to get the fuel injectors cleaned. But anyway, I remember reading posts of people saying there were getting like 20-23 mpg. FOr those people, what size tires are you running? On my 94 St i Have 16's and Im gett 30-31 mpg. I don't think 17'' should drop the mileage that much..
Anyway, if you have MPG in the lower 20's canyou let me know what size tire you are running? I'm trying to do some research on how much these 17's are going to cost me in the long run, and if there is something to do about it. Thanks Jeremy |

You guys just need tune ups. I've gotten as good as 40mpg crusing from one side of the country to the other at 80-90mph on 17's. Typically, around town, I get 28-35mpg depending on how much I drive the freeways. The Celica ST shouldn't get under 26-28 mpg in the city. If you do, you should look to getting a tune up or something...
