1.6 roro NZE corolla fuel economy *HELP*

[seanf3000]

^^well yes. Ah see the effects of that last weekend. Did pleennntyyyy stuck in traffic driving, ac on, parked with engine running and ac on and some rare 'spirited driving'.....

and ah get only 400km on $110 dollars premium. All time low.....

[sentraman]

Sentraman, you still didn't answer my question

Where you driving from - to?

If you driving somewhere like Diego Martin -> POS -> grocery -> back you will never get the same milage as a man driving a longer distance.

Short runs always kill your milage, that's why vehicle manufacturers have City & Highway gas milage figures.

Those runs were from Trincity to Town and back (no traffic) cause I was working night shift and evening shift back to back so roads were clear.

[sentraman]

I will carry it back to get them sensors checked again cause I get another 350km again

[kevin_mender]

i filled up my car with 60 dollars (pe)
i took it to the drags (sunday)
ran down some turboed cars on the way home
and had enuff to go to work in the morning,
i had to change my oil and the car was more less "new"
i say send it in and give them some wokkk

btw- I from north

[bleedingfreak]

Man... I get 400+ with the Trueno this week, including two south runs at night ( ) so you DEFINITELY need to sort that out!

[sentraman]

I swear somebody taking gas from this car when it parked up.


I changed the airflow meter on the car yesterday, disconnected the battery for about 20mins, put back the battery pole, start car and drive around SLOW.

This morning the car reading 1/2 tank so I made some turns (chrismas shopping nah) and realise that the needle not even moving so I firetruck skinning my arse. I run up about 75kms today and the needle moved just one mark so I was happy.

I now gone to move the car and realise real gas gone now WTMC Is this how dem dam corolla needle does move and chain up man, steups. Best I drive meh dam beef or teen

[seanf3000]

Do you suppose you have a fuel leak somewhere? Perhaps maybe somewhere in the fuel tank.

Otherwise, maybe you can try a wideband reading and see if your a/f is around 12. To see if you're running rich.

First time i've heard about this with a nze.

[sentraman]

I really feel that it have a leak but where can I get that checked out

[nigel1977]

ok, sentra, i just did my first 100km, the needle is just over 1/2.
bear in mind i only put 100 in there, and the needle only moved up to just under 3/4.
b.t.w. what fuel you guys using? super or prem? i think i missed that part.

[sentraman]

well on the inside of my fuel lid says premium only so.......

[cheese pie]

okie after reading this thread i got 34 MPG with the rolla with the 1.5 with ac on most of the time and mixed runs of back roads down rio claro and high way chirstmans shopping

[sentraman]

DAM U CHEESE PIE

[nigel1977]

well i just crossed the 1/4 mark and i dooing 270. from a initial $100. will keep you posted meng.

[sentraman]

I find it strange that a $100 only take ya to just below 3/4 when a $115 does fill mine from empty

[nigel1977]

that was 100 from when the car roll off the container. so i dunno if the car has a big reserve???
bear in mind, the car was secured diagonally in the container, so i doubt there was any fuel in the tank, we had to pour some in the tank for it to start!!!!

[sentraman]

hmmm I wonder how far I can drive once the gas light comes on

Yo Nigel U got my pm about the plugs

[nigel1977]

its worth it to find out. i'll do that one day. keep a gallon os gas in the car and drive on E witht he gas light and see how far i get.

[[X]~Outlaw]

hmmm I wonder how far I can drive once the gas light comes on

[nigel1977]

instead of us buying one one filters, lets put a big parts order together and get our parts cheap from headquarter toyota in miami.

[cheese pie]

well who i have to give money to i for that i dont have a sky box so one of you guys organise


i say make sure the part nubmer the same and put me down for 2 one time

[nigel1977]

i was thinking more along the lines for getting things like complete sets of brake pads, oil filters, drive belts, etc etc, let the rolla guys cometogether, make a list of what is needed, and put the order through. i an say for sure the parts will be cheaper.
but thats for original toyota parts. i dunno if you guys buy original parts or from oem?

[cheese pie]

i perfer original

[MBC Autotronix]

500km/full tank.....that possible ??

i dunno...i just asking..dont own one of these cars....but ppl say premium gas burns faster than super.....is that truth or myth??

[[X]~Outlaw]
