Mabey I Should Go for Low MPG Record?

[doublewam]

With all of you trying to get the best MPG out of the Yaris, perhaps I, in the interest of science, should try to see what the worst MPG I can get out of my new 09 Yaris?

[Tamago]

GOOD THREAD try beating my 13mpg record!

Shouldn't be too hard. Turn it on, lock the door, and let it idle all week. 0 MPG

[doublewam]

Darb you're a genius! I'd do that right now and get the crown but that would mean I couldn't drive the car for a week. I'm still so giddy over my new 'motor cycle with 4 wheels' I am making up excuses to go places just so I can drive it.

Thanks! :biggrin:

Yeah, I do that too, I love my Yaris.

[The little red pill]

I agree. I'm just so happy I've been getting an average of 35 mpg. A big step up from my Tahoe which got 15 mpg! I don't understand all these people that are whining over getting 35-40 mpg with threads like "why is my mpg so low". I'm thinking . . . . . "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?" Just can't make some people happy. :iono:

Run your AC with city driving and you'll get under 30 MPG. My worst was 27.5 MPG.

[detroiter]

I used to get 12-14 mpg if I drove my prior car, an Rx7 gxl, in a "spirited" fashion. I swear you could literally watch the needle move down in that vehicle.

[orangepeels]

an average of 33mpg city/highway mixed is freaking awesome imo. My ford ranger with a 3.0l v6 got an average of 14 city/highway mixed.

Im hoping to raise my mpg and change my driving style/habits when my ecometer comes in the mail.

[toyo]

whaaaaaat? lol

yeah let's waste money on gas!

I bought a yaris to save gas, not to drive it like a race car to get my worst mpg.

but hey, if someone does do it, post the results ;P i'd be interesting seeing what i'm missing out on, while driving like a granny :barf:

13mpg on yaris:eek:?...

[supmet]

I've tried for bad, but not the WORST mpg. I drove mostly city, a lot of AC, lots of gear limiting, junk in the trunk, heavy acceleration - I still only managed to get down to 29.something.

You're not sitting at enough traffic lights. That burns a lot of gas with the AC.:frown:

go for 0.... let your car idle for about 12 hrs.

[Yaris Hilton]

Something in the neighborhood of 30 hours of idling will empty your tank.
