Does anybody know how many litres or approx how many km's you can travel once the petrol light goes on in a Stivo?

It's around 10 litres left.

I've noticed yesterday that all petrol stations I went to ran out of premium unleaded. Even today!!!. What's going on?

I had to go to Ampol and filled Ampol Gold which is basically the same as Vortex. I hope it's good petrol.

Yes you have 10 litres left when it comes on I have tested it many times. So you can go a resonable distance before you run out. Also if I am allowed to offer an opnion I find that BP Premium 98 octane gives me the best mileage and performance. On average I get 50km a tank more than any other fuel. :D

The first tine I used BP Premium I got more out of a tank but when I use it now I find its not that great so I changed back to Optimax and then I got an extra 50km. I think my car is a little strange sometimes <_<

ACCC - Petrol pricing

Hey guys.... (ummm and girls too)

Here is a site I think you should check out, if you plan well you can use the pricing cycles to choose the right day to fill up on the cheap!!!!

Yeah, and like they said... the manual actually says that the light comes on with 10L in the tank though I suspect that is actually between 8-9L as i've filled over 50L into the tank before without the light on. The lowest i've ever gone was filling 58L... needless to say I was driving very slowly to the petrol station.

Cheers

Hey guys

My fuel consumption figures were done on a tank full of Ampol gold. As I have an Ampol servo about 400m from home I use it out of convenience. Optimax does make the car feel a little more responsive but haven't done an economy check as yet. I can do about 50 to 100km on the fuel light. My wife makes it a repetitive habit! My post on fuel consumption shows the figures etc and when I filled up I put 54.6 litres in the tank which filled it to the spout.

Cheers SILVABULLIT.

I thought you were not supposed to run an EFI below quarter tank and if you do actually run out it's not a simple matter of just putting in juice to get it going again.

Ran out of fuel once with the misses in the car (before married) and she still won't let me forget it

Hey mtbrider

Congrats on the medal at the TRi. Had a customer compete there as well.(RAD Cyclery). Haven't heard about running out of fuel in EFI car is drama - except if it's a diesel. Then you have to manually bleed the injector pump. Now that's not a lot of fun! Are you coming to the dyno day on the 20th NOV? Let me know if you are and want a dyno spot.

Had no choice, I was on the highway and just made it to the next town where I knew I could get 98 RON

had the light come on half way up Mt Hotham in the blizzard at night. Still made it up and all the way down 2 days later and to the next town before I could get my hands on PULP. Very scary though cos you never know when it was just going to die on you. :P

Second that. I've used both optimax and synergy 8000 both nowhere near as ultimate. Also I've found its much cleaner when it comes to emissions.

Just out of interest where is the light? My manuals at my parents in WA (silly place for it I know since the car's in QLD). I haven't let the fuel go down to near empty yet.

It's on the bottom right of the instruments near the fuel gage, you can't miss it when it's on.

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
