Gas Drain....

Hey guys, have my Tl for a month now, noticed the gas drains really fast. Is it because the TL has a really horse power? My old '93 camry (170hp) drains super slow....only have to fill up gas once every weekend assuming i drive at least 20 mins a day highway and city. How often do u guys drive / fill gas??

That is good... I do about 300 before the gas light comes on... I do about 90% highway... But I cruise at 80 to 100 so that can be the problem...

Keep it in highest gear, don't floor it (don't hit VTEC a lot), always use 91+ premium gas, get a K&N/Comptech highflow drop in filter, make sure the tires are inflated to the right psi, fuel system cleaner, blah blah blah...

And do not forget, your Camry has a larger gas tank (18.9 gallons, if I recall correctly). So you should really compare amount of gas you put into your cars...
