[Filled up with 50L so approx 12-15L left i assume?

The Sportivo has a 60 litre tank, so you had 10 litres left. The other Rolla models get a 55 litre tank.

Quick question for Stivo owners ... are your fifth and sixth ratios geared for performance or economy? There's always an economy advantage for a 5 speed manual over an auto, but just wondering how sixth affects things in the Stivo.

It is supposedly for performance. At 110km/h you can go from 5th to 6th and you will go from ~3.5K RPM to 3K RPM so not much chance what so ever.... I would have loved for Toyota to have geared a longer 6th gear for touring to you don't have to put up with the whine of the engine on lng trips.

I realise its a 60L tank.... but i always thought there was a couple of extra litres there... but maybe that was just my imagination. For example... i once filled up a toyota with 3L more than what the capacity was. Perhaps in inaccurate pump? I dunno... but that was what i was getting at when i said 12-15L to go then added the question mark.

Sorry, I thought that maybe you didn't know that ... I didn't know myself until I checked, I always thought all Rolla's got 55 litres ... sorry if I sounded like a smart alec! :)

I also only ever took the spec sheet at its word ... is it common for fuel tanks to have a bit more than the manufacturer claim?

I wouldn't put it passed the servos to set the pump to run fast, has been done before and I'm sure is common practice these days with lower margins due to fuel discounting, and is very hard to regulate. I mean how do you go around with a volumetric flask and measure every pump to see if it is calibrated properly all the time???

Don't forget the fuel neck (where the fuel goes in). If the tank is full (60lt - stivo only, other 55lt on ZZE models), it may add a few more litres.

To answer the first question, i get about 520km off a 50L tank in town. 700L in the country.

As for the extra capacity, the fuel neck does add 3-4L on average because it has to get from the middle of the rear quater panel to the top left hand corner of the tank under the back seat. Most pumps click the first time when the fuel is about half way up the neck. So you can usually get another 2-3L on top of that.

I get at least 500 city driving on a tank and that is filling up within 30k of the light coming on.

A small city/country trip a week ago and I got 650k and it took 52L - 330 k of this was on the highway, and it was rarely less than 4200RPM in 6th ;) I even had a small (10 mins) run at 160km/h+.

I have absolutely no idea how good you could get out of a Stivo - I bought a performance car to drive it HARD .... If fuel consumption had been a consideration I would have kept the 02 rolla - which best run I got from it was 692Km.

OK guys, I did a little test on my drive over to Adelaide

Narrandera was the last place I could buy 98 Octane (Optimax) for 750kms so I thought I'd see how far I could go on a tank. I bought a 10L Jerry can just in case.

I made it to Tailem Bend with constant driving at 110-120 km/h slowing for towns of course and stopping in Hay for a quick pee break and Ouyen for lunch.

it was 57L to fill with Ultimate in Tailem Bend... 3L left :o :o :o

The best fuel consumption I got was 7.2L/100km/h, which was mosty highway driving at 110km/h. Worst was 8.7L/100km/h, which was when the car was brand new.

These days I get around 7.7L/100km with mix of highway and town driving.

It'll be interesting to see how I go this time around as I've been driving quite aggresively.

Narrandera hey? Thats not far from my home town, Leeton. You turn off the Hume at the Shell servo you went to though.

Now that i'm in Canberra i'm up and down that road quite abit. Used to stop at that Shell servo quite abit but now I fill up in Wagga for Ultimate now that they stock it.

I'm averaging round 600km a tank with mixed driving btw.

On a recent trip I drove from Adelaide to Devonport on 62L - driving mostly at the speed limit.

It is 760km to Melbourne then 190NM from melbourne to Devonport :D

On the way home, from Melbourne to Adelaide, it was 65L but I was in a bit of a hurry to get home and as soon as I crossed the Border in SA I stepped it up a peg or 2 -or 500-1000 RMP in 6th.

This was with 44,000

what time of the day do you guys fill up?

my belief is to do it either in the mornings or at night (cos i wake up a bit late sometimes). something about contraction and expansion due to heat, ie. get more into your tank for the same price.

Yeah I filled with Vortex98 in Wagga and topped up with Optimax in Narrandera.

A bit worried about the run the other way as I'll have to put a full tank of Optimax in... :( but I guess I'll survive, it's better then 95 octane still

      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.
