[Mk2] [NA] mr2 mk2 n/a miles per tank?????

Post by simo1973 »

:whistle: Ive just used a full tank of fuel on rev1 n/a and got 218 miles out of it. thats taking it easy on the roads.
Now i think that is cr*p. people say you should get this and that,
Can any other n/a owners tell me what they get.
Ive had my ecu reset and ordered a new rotor arm, cap and new plugs, this may help.
Cheers everyone. :thumleft: just a bit of research.

mines just about done 168000 miles, I've owed it for 1/2 those miles and im getting pretty much exactly (avg) 300 per tank. Always have. 250 if it stays in the high revs a bit more often. 340 weather like this.
Mind you dont know what bhp its developing... RR day coming...

I got 240 from my first full tank. worked it out at 27mpg. This week i have been mostly driving like a fairy due to the weather so it will be interesting to see how this changes the figures.

rev 5 with 50K

400+ out of mine. =D>

Steady 70mph mostly motorway.

My knee was very stiff after holding the pedal constant. Oh for cruise control. [-o<

Toyota claim that at 55mph you can get 45mpg. So given that, then you should be able to achieve 545 miles from a full tank :)

363.4 miles is my personal best, still over 10 litres in the tank too :)

Toyota's figures are very optimistic. I think they presume everyone drives below 2000rpm, lol. I normally get 230-250 from a tank in my G-Limited, that's mixed driving. My best was about 300 taking it very steady. N/A's are only as economical as your driving style. My mate has a rev 5 turbo and is getting at least 200 from a tank in that. I'm getting a turbo. Lol.

I usually get 330 miles out of 45 litres which is approx 33 to the gallon..that's mixed driving using Tesco 99ron in a Rev2 with 58k on the clock.

I've kept a running total over the last few fill-ups, and with a 90% backroad trip to work everyday I'm managing around 290 miles / tank. I need to find a nicer route to work :cry:
