Im gonna get a 93 tomorrow and was wondering how many MPGs your SCs gets.
list mods too
thanks

 

right now...10 if I am lucky. Before, they are supposed to get combined 18mpg.

 

is that stock? 18mpg

 

That is what the cash for clunkers website says. The combined mpg is 18. I was curious so I looked it up. 10 is with my 1j and me having a hard time not standing on it quite often

 

my dash says i get 22.7 average mpg

 

cool thanks guys,
I was also wondering since I came from driving a manual
dont really understand the auto trans.
what is the o/d for? and when should I use it?
and the switch where it says power and normal

 

Dash is at 20.9 mpg

 

any known mods to increase MPGs?

 

my 95 got like 20 or less, now i got 98, dash say 24!!

 

i consistently get 23mpg with my 5speed

 

I've gotten 400 miles to a tank before, no joke, it was exactly 400 but eh...which makes it 19ish.

*mods in sig*

 

I get around 25 miles to the gallon in my 1998 sc300. Lots of highway driving and not much gunning the throttle.

With a tank of gas, I can typically hit over 400 miles.

 

I average 25 mpg with city and highway using cruise and not driving it hard, i get around 28-29 mpg all highway driving averaging 70 mph. 97 SC300 automatic all stock except for a K&N filter. Sounds like some of you need the lighter right foot mod and a good tune up.

Mod to increase MPG would be dont drive it hard, its slow anyway so no need to dog it, use cruise and stay at a steady speed, a good tune up will help also.

o/d is OVERDRIVE use it on the highway or anytime over 45 mph, just leave it on and let it shift itself and you will get better economy, the POWER button shifts the tranny at a higher RPM than NORMAL does if you need to accelerate onto a ramp etc... ive NEVER used this as its not necessary for normal driving and will hurt fuel economy. (i also think the light in the cluster is annoying)

 

im lucky if i hit 250 miles on a full tank

 

I avg.21-23 miles city/hwy about 350 to the tank in my 5sp 93'...Im light on the throttle...every once in awhile I'll open up the throttle getting on the hwy..only mod is an Injen intake on staggered 18"...I still have yet to use my cruise control or take it on long trips though..
