Why is my 95 auto hatch gutted eating so much gas? - 6G Celicas Forums

I hate the stuff, lol. The only reason i run premium around here is cuz there is no ethanol in it. I see a bit of a difference in gas mileage even when i floor it. tongue.gif
If you do pump the ethanol mix, try gas without it and see if there is a difference in mileage. I would very much like to know if im just hallucinating or not.
From Edmunds.com:

Fuel Data

Fuel
Fuel Tank Capacity: 15.9 gal.
EPA Mileage Estimates: (City/Highway/Combined)
Manual: 21 mpg / 27 mpg / 23 mpg

Range in Miles:
Manual: 333.9 mi. / 429.3 mi. / 365.7 mi.

----------------------------------------------------

that actually matches up to exactly what I get when I drive the car....I had no idea it was 15.9 gallons though. I usually fill up after cruisin through like 14 gallons since the stupid fuel gauge needle jumps around. the light comes on and off, its so annoying.

you figure some idiot would have figured out a way to keep a car's fuel needle from jumping around when it gets lower on gas!

same skidpad grip as a 2006 M3....stock. 'nuff said

Just the mechanism for the measurement. The surface of the gasoline will tend to move around more when there's less in the tank which screws with the float. There should definitely be a better way to read the gas level, though. My Corolla is particularly terrible, it will fluctuate about +-1/3 tank in any given drive.
