celica non-turbo st-182 driver...help!!

[JASON_SHEMAN]

i have a celica 1990 mt with 3sge engine.....i want how many jm can it be driven from a full tank??

cos my car full tank only drive 390km and mainly on the highway!!!I FEEL IT CONSUME MANY FUEL!!
(P.S., I CHANGE SPARK PLUG/OIL/AIR FILTER ALREADY)

depends how you drive it, the Jap import celica, ie 3sge had a 60lt tank while the gt4 had a 68, now i know some people will argue this but meh.

They are good on petrol as long as you dont give them death

best ive got was 450km's and that was having the light on for a day or so, when filling up, only filled up 50lt's , shows how much was still left

usually i will get about 400ish, mabey just over, but i tend to put petrol in little bits at a time rather than filling the whole thing, you will understand with fuel prices these days, and running 98.

O...THAX A LOT FOR INFORMATION!!!

you guys must give your 3SGE's death then! I get no less than 520kms out of a tank of 98! (costs $62 to fill @ $1.52.9c/l) And thats from one having done 190,000kms

520, hell no, i couldnt get close to that, lol.

I do mixed driving, some round town, some motorway.

i havnt replaced the spark plugs yet, i was told they were iridiums from the previous owner, replaced leads, fuel filter, air filter, oil filter. 3sge's are a bitch to get at the spark plugs aswell.

Ive done 430 and counting out of my Corona since Friday. ST171 with a 3SGE manual. Mind you its all been open road driving, it got just below 1/4 tank left

y did u guys 3sge so fuel efficiency???

i have an st185 3sgte, i had the needle well under empty, and prolly did about 45km's from when the fuel light came on. I filled up with 98 (as I always do) cost me about 87 bucks to put 60 point something litres in the tank, and I get about 500-550km outta the tank as long as I don't drive like a boy racer.

I can pretty much get around all day without even having my boost gauge move at all. as long as I do that, I save a ton of fuel.

But the same goes for a N/A car, if I was to put my foot down and get 100km/h outta 2nd gear, and do this 3 or 4 times in a row, i could almost garauntee that I would use a 1/4 of a tank. Thats like 20 bucks worth of fuel just for me to go.. yeh, my car is kinda cool. I think i'd rather keep that money in my wallet and just have people look at my car and KNOW that its kinda cool

Well, thats my 2 cents anyway, or 8,700 cents if you must. I reckon if I really REALLY babied my car, I could get almost 600km outta the tank.
