Why is it that I get 700km+ on long distance and only 450km short distance, should I get it checked or is that normal.

thanks for any input,

its because when you travel long distances you hardly have to brake.

when you brake and accelerate you end up burning more fuel. thats why there's that difference.

so even though your travelling at 100km on long distances it ends up consuming less fuel than if you were travelling 60kms in the city.

yea that's pretty much normal, that's like my car.

only getting around 590 mark for suburban driving and get over 680 for freeway driving, also maybe because at the lights I like to sometimes give it a bit of juice which really doesn't help lol.

I get about 512km when the fuel light first flashes on.

I get anywhere from 480 to 600 in suburban driving depending on my right foot.

In the Melbourne suburbs, I often get about 560km before the light comes on, but at last refill of the tank found it still had about 10L in it... so theoretically, I would guess it could get about 650km? Fairly large safety margin! Country driving on freeways, depending on the tailwind, I've had anywhere between 700 - 900km off a tank before the light came on. I drive rather cautiously these days, but when I drive on the right food a bit, suburbs I get about 500km/tank and freeways about 700.

Aurion seems very thirsty while accelerating heavily, but if you are light footed it does quite well.

Thanks guys, I have been putting my foot down lately. I will take it easy on next tank and see what happens.

I have also noticed that when petrol gauge shows empty there is still 10 litres left in tank. I have driven 30km after light comes on, has anyone seen how far you can go after light comes on?

Yeah, the fuel light does come on with about 10 litres left in the tank. I've managed to squeeze 94km out of mine once the Cruising Range hit 0km. A safe number if you ever need to run past empty is about 50km. Also, check out more discussion here:

Thanks. has any one noticed the fuel economy gauge goes crazy after refiling, mine sometimes goes from 9L/100 to 25L/100 and then takes for ever to come back down, has anyone else experienced this.

I am getting my car tinted with midnight express by tint a car, will there be a problem with radio. if so, any suggestions thank you.

Yup, the fuel economy gets reset every time you re-fill. Mine has gone up as high as about 43 litres/100km after a fill. Usually it should go down after about 0.5km of driving though, depending on how you leave the petrol station.

My radio reception with the Midnight Express is from my own personal experience. It is not a guarantee that yours won't do the same. I went in not really caring if I lost my reception or not. If it concerned me that much, I would just find a way to mount a hidden antenna such as in the spoiler.

i forget what the corolla fuel tank size is but i can usually squeeze close to 500 on full tank. weird enough the corolla doesnt have a low fuel warning light like most other cars have. maybe they do and it just hasnt turned on yet.

my range is 32km at the moment and it still hasnt turned on. probably isnt one...

after your range shows 0km, or "Lo", you could still drive for another 100km provided you go easy.

my fuel light turns on with about 20km left on the range, and theres still around 8L left in the tank.

If the tinting on your rear window is metal based , it will interfere with your radio reception as the antenna is part of the rear window assembly.

To avoid this , you have to go for a rear window tint that is ceramic based.

Anyway , thats what Ive read .... can anyone confirm ?

That is correct. Metallic based tinting CAN interfere with the radio reception and it is advised to steer away from that option if possible. But in regards to that discussion earlier, the Midnight Express is a metallic based tint and I was confirming that with my Aurion, I have had no noticeable differences to my reception.

      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.
