Stephaniex Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) Hello all i am new to the forum and also new to owning a starlet. I have a 1994 Toyota starlet 1.3l gli. This is only my second car so i am not sure if the fuel consumption is normal as it uses a lot more than my polo breadvan that was also a 1.3l but 1991. I get about 80 miles to a 1/4 of a tank. I used to put £20 in a week in the polo and that was plenty but seem to have to put 30 or more in the starlet for the same amounts of miles. Is that normal? I know its a really stupid question but just trying to see if there is a possible running problem x Edited April 23, 2018 by Stephaniex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adzy Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I used to get 300 miles from full until the last quarter in my old n/a starlet. now in the glanza I get about 160 miles from full to bottom quarter lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maerijn Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Max. Ive ever had was 630km from 1 fueltank in my GT (4EFTE). Do a basic service on your car, 10W40 oil, filter and air filter. Clean the throttle body and inlet, and try a fuel additives engine and injector cleaner. Also check your tire pressure is correct.

SKINY Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 My old rep was around 40+ mpg average, went to Japfest and used 45£ fuel and spanked it most of the way, 310mile full tank probably 200 mile at 70-80 on the motorway, same journey in the GT a year later used a full tank/45£ worth and again it got spanked a good bit there and back, from memory it was 37mpg from the rep and 32mpg from the GT Hope that's some use lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
