[ulysees]

hi guys i'm new here and i've had a n/a supra for two weeks now and the feul bill is scary i had a 1.4 mg zr before which was great on feul how many mpg should i be getting from the supra around town

[michael]

Mmm fuel... they do drink a bit more than a 1.4 MG but perhaps your car isn't well.

 

How many miles do you get from a full tank? What sort of driving are you doing?

 

Has it been serviced recently?

[dibbleyuk]

Not sure on MPG but im seeing 40mile to £10 round town and thats not racing about either.

 

40miles - £10

80miles - £20

Etc Etc

 

on long runs motorways etc its better more like 50-55mile - £10

around town not too lead footed about 15 mpg if that

[dibbleyuk]

how many miles are you getting to the average £10's worth of fuel?

think it might need tuning

[dibbleyuk]

Sure yours hasnt been converted to miles does your speedo read in MPH or KMH most imports get converted when they come into the county by traders.

not much 'tuning' you can do mate.

 

just make sure it's properly serviced and clean or replace your O2 sensor/s.

Iirc once the speedo is converted the digital read out then starts reading in miles from then on not KM anymore.

 

It does seem like its using abit much but if your stop starting alot or have it ticking over alot you will use more. i lost 20miles once by stop starting and just parked up ticking over with the heaters on.

that is just up the road there are loads of us about the area.

[Soop Dogg]

You do know that it can still have the 'km' tag on the speedo after it's been converted to count up in miles, don't you?

[ulysees]

so the digital clock will be in mph now ? that makes it better then

[dibbleyuk]

[SMiFFAD]

Mine been converted, but they never bothered to switch the odo from saying KM to MILES, even though it now counts in miles. Are you sure it was 39km and not miles?
