helloo...

I'm just wondering how much people get out of a full tank on the sportivo... I've heard from a few ppl now that they get over 700kms!!!!!! Since I got my car i've filled up twice and the first time i managed to just get over 400km's (I must say I pushed it quite a bit) and the second time about 450km's (I thought I was driving conservatively and hit lift maybe only 8 times or so?)

I'm sure this topic has been brought up before... but pleease can you help me... Is there something wrong with my car? or are 700kms + just rumours...

Thanks...

i don't drive a stivo but i doubt it'll get 700km. driving conservatively means keeping the rev under 3500rpm. hitting lift 'only' 8 times in one tank isn't being conservative mate. i wonder how you drove on the previous tank if u say u drove quite hard. thats my 2 cents.

My stivo is sitting outside with 675km on it, and probably 10 litres left in the tank.

80% country, but I do a lot of over-taking at full throttle.

u prob can try ur absolute best to push 700 out of a tank but u'd be driving on freeway going @ 100kph for the whole tank.. i with city driving you can get 700, i drive an auto corolla and i get 500 out of a tank.. max 550 once but really 700++ is bit too much? unless someone wanna prove me wrong

What he said. If you're doing city driving you're not going to hit 700km. Over taking at full throttle uses less fuel than having to propel the car to start moving from still motion.

Basically, like Kenneth said, unless you're driving 100kph (or 80kph, results show on average you get the most km out of travelling at this speed) over a long duaration, you're not going to get 700+. Use the functions on your trip computer and you can see how many liter's you're using per 100km.

So best thing to do is, don't thrash your car if you're really fuel conscious.

He drives an auto corolla..............with a TRD supercharger bolted on to it!!

I dunno how you guys work it out but lately I'm getting about 410kms per half tank, which for me translates to roughly 7.6L/100km.

I drive on the freeway most of the time, its good to get good fuel economy, but then again I'm also paying about $40 a week in toll expenses.

Its no myth. Just depends on driving style and conditions, I wouldn't be worried about something being wrong. Once you get used to it and use the some fuel saving driving you'll be able to extend the tank. Also, due to the short gearing you use a lot more fuel doing 110kph instead of 100kph. Same goes for most other speeds, if you speed you use more fuel for very little time saving.

wow this again???

I drive til the red light comes on, and its usually at 550 - 650km.

And I am not a very conservative driver, that counts even when I do the hillclimb.

So 700km a tank is no where near impossible, if u think that then u must drive at max revs constantly <_<

      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.
