Engine bad gas mileage??

bad gas mileage??

yo.. i gotta 96 rolla 1.6L.. its a 11 gallon tank n im gettin like 230 to a full tank!! wat should i be gettin?? n wat can i do to improve the gas mileage??
thanks for the help

wht type of driving do u do...is is all city or highway or a combo of both

Thats from full tank down to quarter tank or lil below it right? And that does sound about right for gas milage. Well maybe you should get a bit more, but do you do city or highway driving? And do you floor it to get from 0 to speed limit.

Some quick checks to do... Air filter, maybe get a flue injector cleaner. PVC valve.

Oh my...In my 2000 Rolla before the turbo I was getting about 300-315 mpt and after the turbo kit, I am down to 215-225 mpt now and that's on premium gas!

Just something for some of you future turbo guys to think about...Sucks ass!

before turbo... about 300-330 (local only)

after turbo... about 240-260 (local only)

wanna get good gas mileage... then use sythentic motor oil.... tranny oil... fuel cleaner every 3k... use good gas... not some water down crap... make sure ur car was broken in correctly... etc...

i do alotta city dirven... ya i floor it alot but i went a FULL tank without floorin it once n i got no diff in mpg lol which i found funny... i dunno

Maybe it's time for a tune-up?

all i know is that i have to put about 5 bucks a week in my car-thats w/ lots of city drivin-its a 96 4afe auto-and i like to floor it...

have your injectors cleaned the proper way, not just buying those injector cleaner and add to your gas. had the injectors in my van cleaned after 75,000kms (5yrs.) and now it's so much better on gas and more power too.

Buy the injector cleaner.
Im getting about 250 to 300 on 89 in my 02, with mainly city and some hignway

i got mine cleaned at firestone-i felt a big difference after-b/c the car's injectors were SOOO clogged...they basically hook an "IV" unit up to the pvc valve (i think) and let the "solvent" drip over an hour or so-they then crank up the car-rev it hard-and shoot out all the crap out-huge white clouds came out my exhaust afterwards-it was cool lookin! it cost 60 bucks w/ coupon-normal price is about 100 bucks-i would get mine done at Toyota dealer if i were you..

thnx for the info guyz ill give it a try

Damn, I spend $30 a week in gas. I get 380-450 mpt. I do city and highway and speed like a bitch on the highway.

Yeah man! I also get like 200-230 mpt (city & hwy) from full to the empty line . I've tought i had done everything I could but I haven't checked the injectors. I'll have to do that.

how much does it cost to get your injectors cleaned professionally?

60-120 bucks... some places will actually physically take apart your throttle body and brush out all of the gunk, but i have yet to see any place actually do it.. the price i quoted is when they drip the stuff into your pcv valve.and thats all they do.. if you havent done yours in while-like at least 40k to 60k miles, DO IT, you'll feel a significant performance increase..and im not joking either..
