Using Up To Much Petrol

[Bboy Zeez]

hi people

i have been using my celica now for only few weeks and noticed how much i am spending a week on petrol, i was just wandering if there are any mods or things i can install or upgrade that might help me not use as much petrol? someone told me about a ecu chip?

what kind of celica have you got might help .

have a look at the air filter , see if its minging, if so change it , most celicas only return 25-30 mpg round the doors anyways. ;)

my celica does around 30 mpg and thats mostly motorway at around 60 mph any faster and i can see the tank needle moving!!

i also have an apexi cat back system and intake

Yeh i noticed that too, if i keep below 60 mph all the time my tank can last all week but as soon as i go over 60 my tank starts binge drinking the fossil fuels!!!

Not good!

My SS2 returns 18/19 mpg around the town, literally short 1 or 2 mile spins. 36 mpg on a run with plenty of right foot. Can't complain it's 170bhp.

my gt4 was just about 300 bhp , i could make the fuel light come on within 15 miles , off £ 20 of superunleaded. oh !! the good old days.

i've managed to go 10 miles to 1/4 of a tank in my old GT4 once, that was the same day i was spitting out 6foot flames and nearly melted my mates front bumper, averaging about 7MPG, once fixed and tuned i managed to get over 40mpg on a motorway run averaging 70 (officer ;)) and i only got pop's and bangs when your ment to with the mods i had.

if your looking for a chip/piggy back system for your car i'd recomend getting the car a total service, timing belt and all, then a general tune up that any garage can do for you, if your planning on modifying your car i.e. forced induction later, then i'd get something along the lines of an e-manage, thats the system i used and now tune and it's very capable on the cars Greddy list and even some that it doesn't
