Hey,

I have a quick question. I filled up my tank in my 2007 Yaris sedan and can only get around 450 kms out of it. I drive normally, no racing or anything, but i do a lot of highway driving. approx 40 kms a day to and from work. Am i doing something wrong?

Also, i noticed that when i got 100 km/hr on the highway i'm reving at 3000 rpms. Isn't that a little high? i've been in V8 cars that idle at around 1500 - 2000 rpms. Is this something i should have inspected or is it normal?

caper26 · 04-19-2011, 04:30 PM

auto or manual? My 2010 5 spd revs at 3000 rpm going ~117 km/hr in 5th, and I got 511 kms with 3 bars left on gas guage, various speed highways (see above).

EDIT: Made a typo on this post. Fixed it now.

Nahtorious · 04-20-2011, 09:26 AM

It's an automatic. i get about 100kms per 2 bars.

malibuguy · 04-20-2011, 07:20 PM

the bars "wear" of at different rates, the 3rd to last bar for me goes typically over 100miles

Nahtorious · 04-20-2011, 11:43 PM

Ok cool, i just filled my tank up to the max, and i'm gonna be driving like an old granny for a while to see if it makes any dramatic difference. SPEED LIMIT! HERE I COME! lol.

Well, I am in Canada, so this is not easy to use for me unfortunately, since I have to use a few conversion calculators to even enter my data... Are there any sites which use liters and kilometers??

Not bad man, how'd you pull that one off? I just started driving easy and my second bar just vanished at 266kms. I got some more figuring out to do, but so far i'm happy with that.

266km on second bar???? you sure you got that right most i had 230 but 100% hwy going 90 km/hr average right now is about 180 for second bar 190 on summer.

TLyttle · 04-25-2011, 11:40 PM

Why on earth would you guys depend on any data from the fuel gauge? In particular, distance for the "first bar"?? The only thing that matters is how much actual mileage one gets from fillup to fillup! I got 640kms with 3 bars still showing on the gauge, then it ran out of gas; time to change fuel gauge, not brag about getting all those kms on 3/4 of a tank. Think it out...

Yeah, now that i look at what i wrote, i probably took that information down wrong. lol. my mistake. But up to date... right now i'm at 460kms with 3 bars left.... the 3rd last bar should be disappearing soon, probably in another 10-20kms or so. I have a pic, but it's on my bb and i'm not sure how to upload it.

Nahtorious · 04-28-2011, 09:47 AM

On another note... i was wondering, if i drop a supercharger in my 07 yaris sedan, does anyone know how much that would hinder my gas milage?

malibuguy · 04-28-2011, 11:53 AM

^ it depends on your driving habits, but you'll probably see at least 10% drop

STC · 04-30-2011, 05:13 PM

Spring gas must be here...

I made 49.329 MPG last fill-up on 4/29. This was using ethanol gas (up to 10%) here in PA. Hopefully, I can make 50 + miles this summer using ethanol. To date all my 50 MPG a tanks where using the non-ethanol gas. The next fill-up I will be calculating a trip in my readings...

Cheers!

rick996 · 05-01-2011, 06:35 AM

I don't think I'll ever hit 50 MPG on a tank.

I did learn a new trick though. It's starting to get warm with all the glass causing the "greenhouse effect" inside the car. I leave the fan on and set to recirculate. When I go down a hill I hit the AC button while in DFCO and then turn it back off before I touch the gas. It gives me a little burst of cool that helps quite a bit.

Spahrticus · 05-01-2011, 06:37 AM

Mine is horrible... However, I feel like it's wonderful when I compare to my M3 which is 15-25MPG and $60 to fill up...
