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.

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

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.

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 <_<

      2Door 1975 KE30 Corolla 4Sale

      Looking to see what offers are made for my 2Door 1975 KE30 Corolla The car has been sitting in the garage for quite a few years now as I planned to have it restored. Unfortunately, I have not gotten around to it and am now considering selling if I receive a reasonable offer. The photos in this ad are old however the condition of the car is still similar to the photos. There is a couple of rust spots that need attention and a dent to the body that can all be resolved with the know-how. All in all condition of the car is really quite good. The engine was running great and did not have any issues when I was driving it a few years ago but it has sat around for a few years now. The car has always been reliable and great to drive. This was my first car and I have no strong desire to sell, if the right offer came along I would consider selling due to needing the money for other things. I would like to pass this rare Corolla on to someone with the passion to restore it. You do not see 2 door KE30s around anymore and I don't know if there are any more of these left in SA (it might be the only 1975 KE30 left in Aus).

      Low Fuel Warning Light Flashing

      Hi guys,I have 2 solutions to this problem, Me : I have an early 2015 VDJ200 and I got the "Fuel system error" come up on the dash, my fix was, 1. Checked the relay for the Jet Pump in the main tank, found that the relay was not getting the earth signal from the ECU (for whatever reason). This stops the subtank from emptying into the main tank. I earthed out the relay and now the Jet pump runs as soon as you start the engine, 3yrs later and still going strong, no fault codes, all that is different is that you can hear the pump run when turning on the ignition. 2. Second possible cause (as written up in the now defunct lcool.org) The wiring on top off the fuel pump lid (connector) can melt and cause a high resistance thus stopping the pump from operating and therefore causing the subtank not emptying into the main tank. I hope this helps everyone who has this fault. Please note this applies ONLY to the Turbo Diesel V8 Cheers, Paul

      79 series randomly dies under power

      Most likely culprit would be an intermittant Suction Control Valve on the HP Pump. I also wouldnt rule out some FOD in the Tank...Like a piece of plastic floating around in the tank and blocking the pick up

      2019 LC76 4.5 V8 Injector issues

      Bailey's Injector group..They DLC more than just the shaft like the stock Denso injectors. Run a 2 or 5 Micron Secondary Fuel Filter. This will make the Injectors last well over 400K if you change both the Filters regularly. Be very very careful when reading + injector values.. More times than not the ECU is compensating for a lazy Pot If the Engine has no EGR delete then the Intake will need cleaning, and normally it's Pot 4 that suffer first due to a less than tuned intake and the preferred intake airflow path

      1VD - Ticking Noise

      Cracked Rocker..Its been known to happen. Inspect the Roller Rocker arms. This Valve Train has a roller rocker Hyd. lash adjusters..If it ticks then it's either a cracked rocker arm or less likely a buggered seal in the lash adjuster

      More likely the dealer has not cleared the Maintenance when done. I assume you have already had at least 1 service?
