Fuel Economy - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Yes, I know the idea behind this car... I'm still gonna get it as quickly as I can, regardless of fuel economy, but just because the car's badass doesn't mean I don't wonder about this...
I'm thinking... combined 25MPG? Maybe?

sounds reasonable.

Hopefully something around that. My daily was around 24-25mpg

scape · 01-19-2010, 11:05 AM

for NA i see it being higher, maybe 30/34? toyota also seems to underwrite the value of MPG's, as my yaris is spoken for at 29/36, but I get 34-36 city and closer to 40 highway, and I drive like a nut haha.

Well, the yaris is running a F designation head, which is specifically engineered for economy.

Though I'm not sure how they'll designate the head on the FT, we could assume it'll be a G classification, which is engineered for more performance, so MPG isn't going to be as high as it could considering its only a 2.0L N/A. Of course I have no experience with cars running Direct Injection, which is supposed to help in that regard.

Meh, I agree...mid-high 20's city. Low 30's on the highway possibly. It'll get better mileage than my AE86, I know that for sure. Sucker is quite thirsty for a 1.6L....its also a 25 year old engine, lol.

Older engines are fun.. New engines are kind of a bitch to work on.

Edit: Hopefully, this won't be the case with the FT..

NESW20 · 01-20-2010, 02:27 PM

my MR2 gets low 30s on the highway...

I'm gonna say at least 22-28, somewhere around there.

CyberFormula · 01-21-2010, 05:28 PM

if it is 2800lb 2.0L engine, I expect my driving will give me 40-50mpg.

in my 3300lb GTI 2.0LTurbo, i get 30-40mpg

Blokatos · 01-21-2010, 06:59 PM

Weight will be critical to the fuel consumption figures

VenomRush · 01-21-2010, 08:46 PM

i believe this car will get awesome fuel economy.. my friend gets about 20mpg on his 09 wrx.. and he pushes 4.5k every gear

Siriusly.Andrew · 01-21-2010, 09:41 PM

my 2004 Matrix XRS is around 2800 lbs and I could get 35ish MPG with the 1.8L 2ZZ-GE.
I'd estimate close to that with the FT-86?

Lexicon101 · 01-21-2010, 09:57 PM

30-40 combined would be great... my '90 civic gets about 30... better power AND gas mileage? Yes, plz.

no_name · 01-28-2010, 01:33 PM

My old 86 (1.6L) got about 24 city and 30ish highway. My '05 Accent (also 1.6L) gets about 28/38. Anywhere between those would be awesome.

The 2.0T Genesis is rated 21/30 so the FT will have to be better than that seeing as it should be at LEAST 500lb lighter and down about 30hp. Now that I think about it, anyone who bought that car is going to be really upset when Toyota releases this thing. Lighter, same speed, and better on gas? Oops!
