I have put 310 miles on my last tank, roughly 31 mpg that includes a weekend racing it, sprints up to sunset highway and Julian and then the usual 15 mile round trip from and to work
all on sticky 205s doing a flying 80. Im not sure who gets 40 mpg but .. wow I feel anything better than 28 for what I do is great and if I can get 34 Id be mystified... that said Also for reference if anyone cares, I run 36-38 psi up front and 40 in the back for racing/spirited driving and 36/36 on the highway. |

Also, I'm running the 15 inch steelies that the Yaris came with. It could be possible that people running after market rims could see better mpg due to weight savings in each rim. It requires less force to turn the wheels which makes a huge difference in city driving and stop and go traffic. On the freeway, I hear it's about the same with heavier wheels having the slight advantage of maintaining speed. |

I'm talking identical. I mean identical, like straight from the factory virgins. I just have a feeling that there is no consistency from one 1NZFE to the next rolling off the assembly line. I'm probably totally whack, but after 11 years on here, reading all the economy stories, that is my conclusion.

I used to drive a Civic HX which was the newer upgraded model from the Civic VX and although the mpg rated numbers were pretty high, I was getting about the same mpg figures as my current Yaris. I like the fact that the Yaris feels like it has much more torque than both the Civic VX and HX though, I can actually peel out with the Yaris easily which didn't seem possible with the civics. Then again those civics only opened up one intake valve on all 4 cylinders and later opened all 8 when you reached 2000 rpm. It's also possible the bad mpg on my old HX never had the EGR and throttle body cleaned, nor the oxygen sensor / air fuel sensor replaced which I hear makes a big difference. This brings me to another question, is there an EGR valve on our cars? The only thing I've read on this forum was a way to clean the MAF sensor but nothing comes up when I search for EGR cleaning or emissions related cleaning. |

My '07 hatch has 181K miles on it. I drive it pretty hard. Hypermiling,WTF? I average 32-33 mpg. However, on a recent trip, almost all freeway, I got 38.6 mpg. Amazing car. My wife hates it, so I'll keep it another 11 years. Still has the original clutch and brakes! Just wish it had cruise control.
