TREG Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hello Chaps, My Mrs has got her heart set on a mk4 supra:clap: We have had insurance quotes and she thinks it will be the standard 3L block rather than the twin turbo. We have read through the FAQs,but cannot find out a rough MPG guide on both cars? Thanks in advance. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 VERY rough... TT - 25-29 on a run / 16-19 round town,urban N/A - 27-32 on a run / 18-22 round town,urban [or at least that's what i got out of my old TT and AM getting out of our N/A now..... mind you, we don't hammer it everywhere ! ! !] Really does depend HOW you drive and how many nice long roads you have (both Soops seem to do MUCH MUCH better on a run ! ! !)

wez_p Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 i got about 350+ miles to a full tank in my TT this week with motorway driving pottering about around town all week & it seems to move down the gauge each time i get in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicmatty Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 My N/A does pretty exactly 60 miles to £10 @ 95p/pl.....If i take it reasonably steady, a bit less if I drive harder.. So by my figures.....25.4 mpg ? ? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TREG Posted October 15, 2005 Author Share Posted October 15, 2005 Im really surprised at those figures! And there isnt much between either model really. Im the proud owner of a gtr33 and get less than 20mpg on a bad run! I can see why my Mrs wants one,the supra must be one of the best looking cars for under £8k?

carl0s Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Since the price of petrol went up, I get to Lytham (blackpool) and back again on about £30 (from Manchester Airport). £20 gives me almost a third of a tank and this gets me to Leeds and a bit of the way back, need another £7 to get home.. it's bad. and that's tickling the throttle, staying off boost completely.

Matt 6 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I am getting about 25 mpg out of my NA every week since I have had it. I haven't got the lightest right foot in the world either!!!! That is a mixture of town and open road driving. A full tank is doing me about 320 miles but has been known to do only 240!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof. Monkey Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hi in a recent "invasion" effort to that country the other side of the channel (yes the one we should own, really) I was blitzkreiging by way along thier rip-off roads, err I mean paege's and was getting a solid 27mpg at approx 80 miles per hour. My Sup is N/A and auto and has a few subtle mods. Now that I have got a race XERD header (6-2-1) it guzzles fuel a bit more. It could also be the colour (white) being a superior pigment to the usual red, black, grey offerings. Based on the reflective index of white, producing a localised deionisation of the surrounding air, causing a vacuum and more speed. Finally scientific proof of: 1) White is the best colour for a supra. -or- 2) I am talking out of my arse, cos its saturday. 3) I beat Stephen Hawking in a drag race, in his wheelchair and this is the only way he could explain the disgrace. 4) A little bit of all of the above.

bromy Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Funnily Enough, since having the single turbo fitted to my na fuel cosumption has got a lot better, and no its not running lean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve steve, the n/a is generally not cheaper than the tt to insure, and also you may regret buying the n/a over the tt, i know i did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham S Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I average about 250 miles to a tank, thats on a uk TT so its got a 10ltr bigger tank, which is now costing about 80 quid to fill!! havent worked that out in mpg, dont think i want to! but its definately worth it!
