driving for feul consumption

[hippy]

i find that i'm using alot of feul, most of my driving is city driving, i've read much on the feul consumption threads, my question is in regards to automatics, do they differ much from how u drive it to get the maximum efficiency?? Also what are the tips when driving to save on feul, currently i rev up to about 1-1.5krpm (i think) in first, then always change gears at about 2krpm til the last gear, and when going about 60kmph revs about 1.8-2krpm, 80km revs to about 2.1-2.3 krpm, these figures are quite rough... my acceleration is not fast either and is just like any car u see ... i think i only get about 300km per tank ... what am i doing wrong??

If your reving to about 2500 and only getting 300km to the tank you must have a fuel leak! Does the car smoke at all?

I usually keep it below 3000 when its cold, then after its warmed up anywhere up to about 5000 (with the odd redline ) and I usually get 420-450km out of a tank.

to get the best fuel consumption, drive straight to the nearest toyota dealer, trade your car in and buy a friggin corolla

Hippy have you had the car serviced? Try some new plugs and get it tuned.
