Well of course. But what I was trying to ask was the average MPG on the 1jz. . Since gas prices have gone up like crazy I was just curious.Heh

I'd still like to hear some "real world" MPG ratings on the 1JZ-GTE in "normal" driving. I've been driving a FC3S Turbo II for the past year, and I was estatic when I saw 15 mpg... I'd seen as low as 8 (being really, really bad, but hellaciously fast ; ) )

I know modifications have a lot of bearing on this as well, but I was seeing about 4-5 MPG improvement, despite really enjoying the sound of my B.O.V.
