something have to be wrong here yuh know. The 3zz is supposed to be the 1ZZ with 200cc less and a lil less agressive ecu mapping. Lets see everyones average drive daily.

I know Darkcloud does South to West Moorings and back everyday and he kinda getting good mileage.

I do St. Aug to Pointe-a-pierre and back everyday. Low traffic and mostly highway so that explains my mileage figures.

The rest of allyuh doing traffic runs???? or perhaps errrr......heavy right foot??

i do point - sando. so thats some traffic right there too. not snail pace traffic, but slowish... under 50 average

I run Cunupia to POS. Not much traffic in the a.m. (since I leave home around 5), moderate traffic in the p.m.

Heavy right foot?? Ahmm...yeah, sometimes. And my mileage is comparable to Darkcloud's.

^^^^^i woulda never thought you was right foot heavy yes...but saywhat.

Awrite awrite......so nigel have the hardest run....and he have the worst fuel econo out of the five of us (Darkcloud, nigel1977, Staggers, Outlaw and myself) Sentraman is still a mystery there.

Next question....what octane boosters/fuel treatments you all using??

whoever said my foot aint heavy too (sometimes) which probably explains my lame mileage...when leaving work late sometimes and the road clear *ahemm* is a long drive homeeee :lol:

Anyway I must admit from what I have seen on this forum so far the 3zzs have the worst mileage when compared to the 1nz and 1zz..why i do not know...hell my mileage is still alright but its sad when compared to my corolla before 1.6 ae111 locally bought I was getting like 500km to the tank and that was fuel injected everything. I don't know if the 1.6 with vvti is a gas guzzler or something..

then again I need to take into account I use to fill up my ae111 corolla with super and now with the 3zz I full up with premium...does anyone here have a 3zz and uses super as their gas? It would be intersting to know if theres a major difference in the mileage....

it seems like these 3zz's are sucking gas like a 2zzge would..now if i had a 2zzge under my hood and was getting poor mileage I would not complain much :oops:

nigel1977 · Postby **nigel1977** » February 7th, 2006, 12:04 pm

just to clarfiy one thing here...$100 super is exactly how much in your car...from empty (gas light on) to full or above empty to full?

nigel1977 · Postby **nigel1977** » February 7th, 2006, 1:23 pm

above full. super is cheaper than premium. so there would be more liters of gas regardless of wherever the needle was before.

yep i know this but i want to have an idea of how much 100 super is.
with my car 100 premium carries me from like 3 notches above empty to aboveful full.

sentraman....one question out of curiousity. When you purchased your car how much mileage was it doing? By the way i seem to be getting pretty good mileage this week. Will let you know by friday what i got

DarkClouD · Postby **DarkClouD** » February 8th, 2006, 11:23 am

btw guys does anyone know if there exists a supercharger for the 1nz, 1zz and 3zz engines. If so the supercharger may actually improve our (3zz guys) mileage. I was researching it last night and just saw someone say on a forum there is one, but no link was given. I also believe it was a trd supercharger. Anyone know if this is true?
