1st full tank used 2007 Yaris Liftback Base 34.45 MPG
I just purchased a 07 Yaris with 23,410 miles on it. I just finished my first tank of fuel from full fill up.
I drove it until the last bar started blinking with 349.7 miles and it took 10.15 gallons to fill giving me 34.45 mpg in Seattle which is all hills. I keep records of all fill ups for years on my cars and just retired a Cadillac from daily commute that only offered 17 mpg. |

I didn't fully believe all of these 40+ MPG stories with 1.5L gas engines. I did little to build my FE other than watch my MPG numbers on my dash, and drive between 60 and 65. I averaged 42.4 MPG on a 250 odd mile trip on I-65 in Ky. (Right at 125 miles and back) I wanted to go faster but so enjoyed seeing the MPG AVG stay so high. I make this trip fairly often, so I'll soon have the chance to try for better. With these miles and a bearable car payment, I am glad I didn't go for the Hybrid.

I was also skeptical at first while I was deciding to purchase my Yaris. Once the Yaris was home and I was driving around, I verified that the very good fuel economy figures were true.

Heavily loaded (rear wheel's upper ends began hiding behind/inside the fenders) some weeks ago including higher velocities (Autobahn): 6l/100km (300km trip) :D

I'm about 2/3rds of the way through my current tank and I'm at 45.2 mpg. Starting in September I'll be doing a lot of freeway driving, so my mileage will drop quite a bit.

Mileage may not drop
If you stay around 60 mph. I drift between 60 and 65 and get well over 40 hwy. Anything over 65 will suck the gas. I enjoy cranking the music up and enjoying a nice cheap, safe drive. Only you know if you are actually have good reason to hurry.

I found this one at a dealership, think it was from a "richer" couple or family, and was just a second car that wasn't used much.

i'm a new member and still on my first tank so nothing to report yet. it's really nice to see that so many of you beat the EPA rating on your cars. i'm coming from a honda fit, which like most fits, met the EPA rating but barely ever exceeded it. if you check the fit forums or fuelly, you will see that most people achieve the EPA rating with their fits. many of you here blow the EPA rating out of the water with your yaris'. i'm also an F150 guy and most fords don't reach their EPA rating (not that one should buy an F150 if they care about mileage).
so it seems like this: toyota = better than EPA honda = accurate to EPA ford = worse than EPA (not just F150s, btw. there are lawsuits with the C-max) i love ford btw, i'm not trying to slag them. it's just that they don't meet expectations in real world mpg "WHY?" - i've been browsing this thread and you've been here since the beginning. nice work! good member. |

. Nine years ago gas may have been the same price here near Houston that it is now here near Houston....but that is a fair bit lower than it was in California nine years ago .

i was checking gas prices the other day in oklahoma city, which is one of the cheapest places in the US, gas was (CA)47 cents/ liter, which, factoring currency exchange rate, comes to about (US)1.4765 per gallon. lucky b-----rds!
but we all know that it won't stay down forever. the only question is how much time before it starts the inevitable climb once again... |
