Guest tk-421 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hi Folks First post I'm considering getting a auto TT. A factor is the fuel economy. I was just interested to see what mpg these things do. I have a 200sx Stage 1 at the moment and a full tank town driving is about 200 miles Steady motorway driving and a full tank is 400 miles Equivalents for the above would be really helpful. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hi, expect 320 from a tank if you're lucky. To be honest though, if you're worried about mpg, a Supra isn't for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tk-421 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 LOL I was thinking that. I only do about 6000 miles per year so it wont e a huge fuel bill I'd just like to know the mpg is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr lover Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hi, expect 320 from a tank if you're lucky. To be honest though, if you're worried about mpg, a Supra isn't for you... I usually get 180 to 200 from a tank, but then I don't drive like a girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUK Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I don't know what I get, but that Shell Tanker is never far away :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-B Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 fair question considering the way fuel has being going up recently, i only really use my supra for short trips and get around 20-25 mpg depending on how heavy my foot is lol. On the motorway id estimate it around the 28-30 range (thats cruising in 6th, no boost).Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzi Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Thought na and tt's were the same, well near enough. Im na and I get 370 miles to a tank - varied driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Thought na and tt's were the same, well near enough. Im na and I get 370 miles to a tank - varied driving Yeh pretty much. As i say, the n/a does 20 mpg and the TT does 18 mpg, no diference really at all... You can save more money with an n/a because of the advantage in this case, of having no turbo's...

Robzki Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 think I get more tbh, would guess at 20-25 normal easy going with a few spirited moments, up to 35 absolute max all motorway very very girly driving (65-75mph) and down to possibly near single figures if you drive like a loony all the time. 'my' average is possibly 23ish but I share the driving with the missus and not sure she even knows it has turbos I always get told off when they start purring anyway.....

Kiunno Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Averaged over seven years of TT ownership, at around 7,000 miles a year, 18mpg. Yep thats about right I tested mine 3 times and without boring you with figures ( I wouldn't know where they are anyway), I got between 19 and 21 mpg driving fairly conservatively in me TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I think I get around 250-280 miles to a tank of optimax, with a little spirited driving here and there. Not had the car long enough to get a good enough picture tho Mostly decent-length journeys of 25 miles+ - if the journeys short enough I walk or cycle instead! I think of it as looking after my car's engine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 To be honest though, if you're worried about mpg, a Supra isn't for you... Totally agree. But when I said it last time I got a right rifting off of some of the more sensitive care bears on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
