I've noticed my fuel bill rise quite dramatically since buying my Altezza, can anyone confirm for me what their normal mileage is?
Mine currently sits at about 500km per tank, is this as horribly excessive as I think??
I do think there may be a wheel alignment problem, I'll see to this soon + let you know if things improve at all...
Cheers,
Jeremy
Hi Jeremy
We have a 6 speed manual 2000 model IS200 which gives 8.3l/100km on a highway trip and 10.2l/100km on town running. We always expect at least 600+kms before refilling. Have learnt that premium grade fuel 95octane plus gives cheapest running. Works out at about $2 per 1000kms cheaper than running normal unleaded. Not much but you get a better running motor and some extra power - which the IS200 could do with.
