Mobil One didn't do a thing for my mileage (I'll still use it though).

That's because Mobil 1 is still a group III minaeral oil.
Black Yaris if you have a manual trans use amsoil 75w90 gear oil. It will increase your mileage slightly and free up a bit more power

It was not an illusion. You increased the volumetric efficiency of the engine. With the denser intake charge, and static ignition timing from the ecu stock program you will be able to increase your mileage slightly. It is slight but it is still an increase. In some cases you can get a few more MPG, but some don't ever see it. Due to the fact that they most likely see WOT more often now after modding the car. Anyway, figured you might want someone to back up your theory. |

I would not jump to conclusions about increased power and mileage from adding AMS oil.

be care full with tire pressure because I guess that mean they have tighter rubber and it lowers mpg a lot compared to stock

i'm not going to act like i know everything mechanically with a car, but i can tell you with experience that an intake does increase your gas mileage. when i had my GTI, it had a Neuspeed intake on it, and on almost a full tank, i got between 360-400 on the full tank. however, in order to pass smog, i had to spend over 200 bucks for an OEM intake box. with that installed, i could only get between 320-360 on the full tank. all of this i calculated by using the trip-ometer and dividing the miles by the number of gallons it took to fill up. keep in mind, i drove very conservatively (really feathered the throttle when ever i had the chance to).
as for my Yaris, full tank calculations = avg. 45 mpg. but one time, on a 1/4 tank estimate, i got 62.something mpg. does anyone here know if the fuel guage is set to "drop" slower when it's full? i noticed that when i get to the half-way mark, the bars tend to disappear quicker.

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2692 When we try to find out if a modification really improves the car's fuel economy, your observation and what have been discussed in the linked thread must be taken into consideration. I would say scangauge and/or trip computer indications, or in the absence of them, long term average numbers (with methods like : https://www.fueleconomy.gov/mpg/MPG.do?action=calcMPG) are more reliable than the fuel gauge bars. |

You are welcome!
BTW, we all make long posts occasionally. I am trying to make this one short but I am limited by my poor ability. Enjoy your modifications and happy posting! |

I am sorry that I cannot be more helpful. Please try posting your queston in the sub forums for cosmetic modifications or classifieds. IMHO, you are asking it in the right forum but the wrong thread. There is no need to get off topic here, no matter how accommodating fellow members are. You may get some useful replies from those sub forums. Prepare to be surprised by how knowledgeable many fellow members are. You know, this is the ultimate site ! |
