No Go. But, the family celica 2.2L 5sfe gets around 18-20 in town and 21-23mpg on the highway. Its a pig otherwise. I cant believe toyota kept that engine around. I understand why they did it, but towards the late 90's a 2.2L that can only put out 135/135 was a bit outdated and mpg stayed the same. Almost no improvements.
