I'm sure this question has been asked before but with the rising gas prices I am getting a little curious. How many miles does the celica get city/hwy? The only mod I have is a short ram intake. Gas is already at 3.34 for unleaded. It's depressing.....

a quick and inexpensive way to start saving up for those maintenance costs is to change your spark plugs, wires and clean out your air filter. Your mileage should increase pretty well. Even if you don't drop a bunch of money on "the expensive stuff." You can easily get away with NGK copper plugs (like $2/pc or less). Wires cost what they cost, go to Amazon to order the NGK wires, they'll run you $40 which is less than the cheap-o wires from Schuck's! (and $23 less than they charge for the NGKs) If the $50 hasn't killed you, spend another 20 or so on a new distributor cap and rotor. Lastly, if you're due for an oil change, GET ONE! Look online for coupons if you need to... I know around here, Jiffy Lube always has some goober waving a sign around for a twenty dollar oil change for the next car to pull in.

I promise promise promise your car will feel like a new car (comparatively speaking, of course!) and your mileage will increase noticably. You guys pay WAY more for gas up there then we do down here in Portland, make it count at least!
