I get around 25 miles to the gallon

The tank holds around 20 gallons

I do my calculations religiously. After every fill up. One time, got over 26 mpg.

Is this not normal?
In you all's defense, I don't drive very fast and the commute is not laden with stop and go traffic.

BTW, I'm contemplating this swap with a local mechanic. Any suggestions besides studying you and JeffTsai's posting like the bar exam?

thx in advance.

All I can say is make a list of all the parts you need. Check your list two or three times and you should not end up like me running to the DEALER for parts to be ordered. I made a list as the project got rolling I missed a few items (Supra TT Clutch Fan Blade & Exhaust Down Pipe Studs & Locking Nuts)

the blades do not look like it is smaller...or are they? From #171 it looks like the offset is different and the Supra is pushed out more.

Do we think a spacer would work?

They are a little smaller with a slight angle.

A Few Miles A She Runs Great

I put on like 200 mile on the odometer and she runs great. Just like the 2jzge vvti she replaced. There are few Bugs to work out but other than that she runs great. I am very happy with the outcome of this Swap. She started right up on the first try so I feel very lucky. I just want to Thank all that helped out with parts and or Great advise. The list is very long and you all know who you are. So again thanks to all
