Starting to hate my celica now..., Gas goes down so fast... Options

[howie_vang]

I have a 97 Celica GT 2.2 li and these cars are not gas saver at all. The gas drop like everything time you step on the gas pedal..what can be done? I am starting to hate driving it cause i can't afford gas no more it it takes $40.00+ to fill it up. I travel 30 miles to work everyday and I almost have to gas twice a week. Sometimes I wish i could have bought a Honda Civic. I mean seriously this car ain't that fast but it uses so many gas compare to Acuras and Hondas..Maybe thinking about selling my car now, but i will hate to see it go.

I deliver pizza in mine... heavy foot on every light, car gets turned on and off about 30 times a night, delivering i get 22mpg daily driving for personal stuff i get about 27mpg (still heavy foot). i use 0w 30 mobil 1 syn, iridium plugs and a k&n drop in filter. replaced all the wheel bearings the week after i bought the car because they were noisy and it increased my mileage significantly. changing to lightweight synthetic and using a premium air filter also upped my mpg and gave me some better throttle response. Last but not least have your tires filled with nitrogen better handling and smoother ride also they seem to never lose pressure compared to compressed air, shop i got my tires at did it for me for only $10 and they havent changed as much as .1 psi in the 2 months they have been on the car (either that or my tps are screwed lol)
