Figured I'm doing a good job of breaking in the engine with all the ups & downs, accell & decell.

Congrats Robert! I love mountains too...

The Dealer (first) Fill... I only got 27 MPG. Then my actual first fill... I got 35 MPG. Now I'm into the upper 40's and lower 50's consistantly. I use a lot of fuel efficient (FE) techniques to better mileage... common sense driving.

You're getting over 40 MPG... you must drive very consciously and with many FE techniques?

I thought there really isn't a break in period anymore for 'new' car engines? You don't have to follow driving a certain way for a specific period of time... like in the 70's and into the 80's?

Cheers!

What am I doing wrong my average is only 32 mpg and I'm about 50/50 city/hw. I don't have a lead foot, buy maybe a steel toe. I'm new to the a/t thing and the Yaris likes to jump when I feather the throttle.

EDIT: us gallons, not sure of difference between us gal and imperial gal
