Hi everyone i was wondering how much miles per gallon do you guys/girls get for your mr2 i have an 89 mr2 s/c and by the calculation i get somewhere around 160 miles per tank and my tank can only hold about 8 gallons i think that means im only gettin around 20 mpg does that seem rite? is there anything i can do to get better gas mileage just looking for some tips so i wont have to fill up so much thanks

You should be getting closer to 25 or 30mpg, though it is possible to get less with aggressive driving and/or clogged filters and other maintenance issues. You have a 10.8 gallon tank, so you haven't been using it all.

I usually get 190-210 miles on 8 gallons of gas with my 89 sc. Usually average 24-26 city 29 highway could get more if i kept it on cruise at 70(by the way at 70 on the sc your at 3lbs of boost) but its just too tempting,
