Fuel Consumption 2ZZ-GE Celica/Corolla Sportivo, what r u getting?	Wed, 03 August 2005 06:24

All toyota materials seems to specify that it's 8.5L/100km, but from my experience of 3500km++, It seems I can't do better than 10L/100km, no matter if I'm changing gears at 3000rpm, 3500rpm or 4000rpm, accelerating slowly or medium pace And I usually travel 50% city / 50% highway... sometimes more highway than city... Anyone have any experience/ideas? [Report message to a moderator]

From the small driving that we have done in the auto ZZT231, we usually get around 9 to 10 litres around town and 7 to 8 roughly on the open road. We get 600 to a full tank of a 55 litre tank. But don't quote me on that... [Report message to a moderator]

any body else have any experience? And what does it mean when they mention "combined 8.5L/100km"?? Does it mean 40% city and 60% highway? Certainly I can't get below 9.5L/100km... [Report message to a moderator]

The figures quoted by the manuacturer are rarely achievable. They use a standardised test (the details of which escape me, I think 60km/h for highway driving etc...) but essentially, it's usually a fair bit lower than real world. Examples are everywhere, but in my case, my Ford had a sticker quoting 12.5 l/100km combined and I averaged over 14l/100km...same with another new car...dealer advised it's normal.

yeah fuel consumption as with acceleration times from the factory are quotes from an ideal world, where you don't accelerate at any rate and sit in the highest gera possible in any given situation. The only car i know that meets the claims is my brothers echo. and of friends who have a gen 3 powered ss they meet the freeway claims. [Report message to a moderator]

yeah, the echo is good dont know what they claim standard...but when my car was stock i could only get 450kms to the tank...(abt 38L of fuel - 45L tank) now...i push the limits of 550kms/38L 2 things i found make a remarkable difference are: - the airbox intake snorkel. Be Gone With It! and replace it with something of greater diameter if ur worried abt too much hot air getting in there... - make up a Ground Wire kit. that connects points on the engine and chassis back to the neg (-) terminal on the battery. each of these will (should) net you an extra 50kms per tank. esp the intake. massive throttle body, yet the filter and snorkel are no bigger than what my echo has stock!! and then if u feel like it, get a lower restriction air filter (K&N, Tom's) should also get at least another 30kms per tank. and the best bit is, all the above mods will get u more power as well more power + better economy = happy driver edit this comes from 104,000kms of driving experience and i got a damn heavy foot. apparently the echo gets up to 650-700kms if driven like a grandma Nic [Updated on: Thu, 04 August 2005 03:21] [Report message to a moderator]

each of these will (should) net you an extra 50kms per tank.
esp the intake. massive throttle body, yet the filter and snorkel are no bigger than what my echo has stock!!

Best economy I ever had was when I had a moth stuck to the windscreen wiper on a drive from Canberra to Newcastle, incidentally the moth is for sale, it (should) get up to an extra 100km per tank.

I also have a set of shark repellent underpants, I have never been attacked by a shark whilst wearing them Rolling Eyes

On topic: this might be a good place to ask your question re 2ZZGE fuel consumption

just saw this post... I regularly get over 600+km for 50L of fuel. You will find that city driving will chew through the fuel particularty if you spend a lot on time in heavy traffic and stopped at traffic lights, ie stopping and starting all the time. [Report message to a moderator]
