If for whatever reason it were 2JZ-GZE (just made this up for arguments sake) then THIS would mean Supercharged.

My '99 SC300; I kid you not has gotten a best of 28.1 mpg on the highway travelling exactly 65 mph. Well when you mix in city driving my combined went down to 24 ot so mpg at BEST; this is with majority highway driving. But normally I get a combined of anywhere from 18.7 to 19.8 or so mpg. City mileage on this thing is HORRIBLE as well as the overall mileage. I think the great mileage on this thing can be attributed to the VVT-i.

I get an average of 18.5 mpg on my 95 SC4...on a REALLY good day (right after oil change, all highway driving) she can pull about 20.0 mpg...but that's pretty rare....*sigh*....

i get roughly 19-21mpg mixed on my 95 sc4... this is with highway driving at 70mph (2500rpm) and city driving, i lightly press the pedal lettin the tranny shift around 1800rpm. i think if anything, if ya want better mpg, simple bolt ons mite help as it frees the engine up.

with a simple BFI, TRD air filter & a recent oil change I made my cross country drive from Boston --> Erie PA --> Dallas TX --> Malibu CA averaging 24 MPG.
...I think I still have the factory wires on there. IIRC, they say "Denso 1995" on them.
