Well for me when i first brought the yaris, it gave me around 47, 48 KM per gallon now It's like 55 KM or more per gallon, here in panamá it's a lot, because we don't have lot's of highways and road like in canada or usa, in my case i have to deal with huges traffics jams in the morning and because we are a tropical country I use my air conditioner all the time.. so it's a very good average I think .....

cheers

My last fuel gauge bar started flashing this morning at 606.5 km. I am now waiting for a temporary drop in the gasoline price so that I can fill up.

To cburac, nice numbers. I believe the warm weather in Panama is helping you.

Thanks for the information why? I am looking forward to seeing how well you can do with the Yaris that you will soon have. I believe you will do very well because you are so knowledgeable.

Rofl, we shall see eventually. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

I filled up my tank about a couple day ago.

it was 37.07 liters after 494km drive. Anyway, it was better than before, at least.

but it is still lower than the official number which toyota published.

wait and see.

swng · 03-29-2006, 07:17 PM

Thanks for the numbers hirosho! That is 7.5 liters per 100 km or 31.34 mpg(US) or 37.64 mpg(imp). I would say about average for a not yet broken in car.
Please keep on posting your numbers as they inevitably improve.

They say it gets better after the moving parts in the car 'breaks in'? WHOO HOO!!

1st tank = 7.3 L/100 KM's or 39 MPG... I think thats about fair - love the car!

rc

Yello All Yarisians.

Tank numero deux, 544KM's and last bar starts flashing, 36.6L fed to Mighty Yaris... Auto Trans, 'spirited' driving, bout 70 city / 30 highway... rolling hills for terrain - 60 KM/H, and 110 KM/H typically.

1st tank = 7.3L/100 KM's or 39 MPG
2nd Tank = 6.7L/100 KM or 42 MPG

I'm not complaining about fuel consumption one bit!

Cheers...

stuffy · 03-29-2006, 09:17 PM

my first few tanks went quickly, but the last few have averaged 6.7L p/100km, (at 4500km) and that is driving fairly conservatively.

i think those numbers will improve this summer

swng · 03-29-2006, 10:09 PM

Congratulations on the improvements guys! I will post mine soon. Just waiting for the fuel price to come down a few cents so that I can fill up. I am addicted to playing this game.

swng · 03-30-2006, 02:03 AM

Just filled up. Got 629.9 km and topped off again with 42.42 litres. That works to -
41.95 mpg(imp) or
34.92 mpg(US) or
6.73 litres per 100km or
14.85 km per 1itre.

stuffy · 03-30-2006, 08:21 AM

wow swng, you sure wait until the tank is sucking air before you fill up, eh?

Dangerous, bud. Don't think you want to go that deep that often. ha ha.

swng · 03-30-2006, 06:31 PM

Thanks for the good advice Ziv. I will remember that.
To Ziv and stuffy, I guess at the moment when I decided to fill up, there were still at least two litres of fuel in the tank. Despite that the manual says that the tanks holds 42 litres, one can actually squeeze in a couple of litres more into it(by filling til it spills), but it may not be good to do so. Still, that is exactly what I have done for the last couple of tanks and that is also why I was able to pump in 42+ litres yesterday. In future, I will avoid doing this. I just had to do it a few times to find out the car's range and fuel efficiency more accurately. Once I believe I have gotten a fairly good idea of the car's capabilities, I will fill only until the tank is reasonably full and refill as soon as possible when my fuel gauge is down to the last bar.
I appreciate the communication Ziv and stuffy!

stuffy · 03-30-2006, 09:07 PM

lol, i'm glad that you conducted that experiment and shared the knowledge rather than me!

swng · 03-30-2006, 11:45 PM

Frink · 03-31-2006, 10:25 AM

Last 3 tanks for me:
6.5 l/100km
6.5 l/100km
6.3 l/100km
My car has around 10,000k on it now.
Gotta say I'm pretty satisfied with the mileage numbers.... looking forward to a long highway trip to try and break into the 5's (which I have only done once with my 01 Civic)
