I like this.
I didn't think the autos got that good a mileage thoug I have a manual so I can't really comment. I have really surprised some people with mine. the pickup of this little thing (with modifications) is very respectable and then I can get within the 40s as far as mileage. |

How long are your trips? I get at least 35, but most trips I am in the upper 40's, often hitting above 50 mpg, and even have gotten 60 mpg a few times on my drive home from work. I got 55 mpg going to work this morning.
I mainly rely on pulse and glide, speeds around 45 mph, 38 psi in the tires, and have not modified the car. |

I have a 2012 SE 5-speed with 19,500 miles. I drive about 60% rural roads (30-50 mph) and 40% highway. Almost no city driving. I consistently get 37.5-39.5 mpg in summer and 35-37 mpg in winter. While I do not drive it like my old '84 VW GTI (redline every day), I don't hypermile either. I love that I consistently exceed the combined EPA mileage ratings for this car.

Even with an automatic transmission, I have been getting extremely respectable mileage with my 2012 Yaris. I use Fuelly to keep track of my MPG.

I assume he meant "hiway" vs "highway"
(just a guess) |

I like Tennessee quite a bit. I've stayed (on trips) in various parts of the Memphis, Nashville, and Chattanooga Metros and have also been to Gatlinburg and to suburban Knoxville. I love my location, but I'm not ready to never ski again. The closest places to me that would be easiest to drive to and spend some time (whole trip considered) would be Ruidoso, NM,and near Gatlinburg.When I think about an area, I think about all sorts of minutiae, including effect on MPG. |

I'm not sure what may be different. I do think that the route that I drive works out great, mostly mild hills (though that one hill either adds or subtracts 4-6 mpg to my current average).
I almost always fill up at the Shell station, with 87 octane, states "up to 10% ethanol. Only a few weeks ago 53 mpg was my best trip average, now I usually get that on the up hill route. If I get on the interstate it goes down quite a bit, however I had four in the car on a trip down to Tracy City to go hiking and drove 70 on the interstate, had the AC on, and did not use an P&G, or other tactics that would annoy my passengers, and averaged 43 mpg for the day. I got 47 mpg for that tank of fuel, half of it for that trip, and the other half doing my normal commute. Best tank so far is 51 mpg. I think it helps that my commute is North/South. The winds seldom effect me much. |

Yes, all the methods are pretty close to each other. The Scangauge is the best, as it learns with each fillup. After two fillups it correctly predicts with in 1/10 of a gallon how much gas you used.
I do of course follow all the techniques to properly calculate my FE manually, filling up at the same station, same pump if possible (all these pumps are on the same slight slope, face the same way every time. |

If you do get it wrong (pump shuts off too soon or later) the next fill up is going to correct it. A running average of tanks is pretty much required to get a good number.
