I average 30-32 on long haul slightly *cough* above 70. Round town about 25-28. But as with most I didn't buy it for its economy. Otherwise I wouldn't have chopped my diesal in. 2003 Is200

I'm getting about 310 miles from 60L which equates to 23mpg.

Phil - I'd definitely be better off with either a 2j or a v8, the 1gfe just doesn't have the grunt to cruise around at low rpm.

I must be doing something right then, I get 340-350 out of a tank. Thought I had a heavy right foot too! Lol!

Anyone know how much different a is300 is on fuel?

to be fair I was getting closer to 350, but my rear wheels are nowhere near aligned and I have a broken wheel bearing. Plus all my journeys are very short and I rag the nuts off the car.

el_bandido well I usually find the amount of miles I get from a tank is a good indicator of how wrong things are going Big Grin

Plus I've been keeping track of it while adding various modifications.

If it helps I can tell you i get about 160 miles to 30litres which is ermm Confusedhock:

I've just done my first full tank in my IS200, 2002 55k on the clock, I got 381 miles and the light was on for about 5 miles before I went to the station to fill up. 95% of it on motorways.

Most of my miles in a week are motorway, 50 mile round trip. I tend to take it relatively easy back n forth to work, its the weekend urban and rural driving that I haven't tried yett.

I had a private game with myself in the celica to try and get 400 on a tank, did it about 3 times.

As it's only cost a tenner more to fill the IS compared to the Celica, I'm happy with the petrol consumption.

How truthful is it that a sports cat back system will give better consumption on mways?
