ubersonic Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Having owned the car for two months now I must say the fuel economy is absolutely shocking! Filled my tank last night, took 67.83 litres from the fuel light, according to the trip I had done 445 miles since the last fill-up, so I have averaged 29.5 MPG out of the last tank , A lot of it has been highway miles but it also includes multiple 3 minute stop/start drives to/from work and a number of high boost moments. By comparison my 1JZ MKiii never managed over 25 MPG and my VTEC Prelude only ever saw 32 MPG on a couple of occasions. All in all very happy, I wasn't expecting to be averaging anything like this, guess I can order that new CPU then lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 That's incredible.

Are you still running MPH or KMH clocks? 445 km is ~ 275 miles, which is what I get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallis Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I get about 7 miles to the gallon! £60 gets me about 100-150 miles! All worth it thought :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Mine was 412 miles and it was when we all went down to pod...filled up at Glasgow and didn't need anymore until Saturday evening after Suprapod. (didn't drag!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan294 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I don't even work it out!! I just press the loud pedal at every opportunity!!! +1! 250 ish miles to a tank for me.

I get about 260-290 miles per tank. My best ever effort at a track day was 80 something miles from the tank. Thought it was leaking to be honest.

TubbyTwo Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Bet the car is in KMs Mine has jsut done 284km to £45 of tesco 99, so thats about 175 miles or normal driving to and from work after changin the O2 sensor, was previously getting about 240ish to a tank before that.

Havard Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Amazing MPG if the figures are correct. Having owned 2 Supras NA & TT, well serviced, low mileage cars I have never got more than 360 miles from a full tank. I always drive steady with a couple of moments of WOT but I can never imagine getting 400 miles nevermind 450. I don't take any notice on MPG when kicking around town as the figures are never going to be good. Long drives to POD, London, Dragonball, Le Mans etc have shown the figures I stated above. H.

David P Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I once managed over 30mpg in my N/A and it was a long time before the cries of lies and urine removal ceased. You should be O.K. though, you have a T.T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
