Miles per tank - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

1stToyota · 05-02-2009, 03:59 PM

I'm pulling a little Supmet tactic this week...driving at least 65mph on the freeway all week, hit 75 and 80mph when passing, gunning it enough to keep from getting cut-off (usually let the jerks just push their way in), using the A/C when I'd normally run the vents...296 miles and still @ 1/2 a tank. Maybe it's the Soltron?

Edit: Or maybe it was the 87 octane Sinclair (No Ethanol)
Filled up last night: 43.67mpg

I drive usually 40mph (60km/h) and my commutes are mostly city driving.

WTF is wrong with my car?

I'm guessing your driving shorter distances of under 20 km each way?

I got 380 miles when the car was brand new, now I get about between 320-340 out of a tank.

There's the "problem". If your mostly city driving, you won't get the 40 mpg we are all claiming. It depends how bad your city conditions are. Are you stopped and idling often? Plus, accelerating from a stop up to speed burns most of your fuel.

Remember, the Yaris EPA rating in the city is 29 mpg. So if this is about what you're getting, there isn't a "problem".

While voodoo22 still holds the record for the longest tank in the Yaris (588 miles) I just got a new personal best of 569.3 miles.

sqcomp · 05-11-2009, 03:24 PM

The fast blinking on my last bar happens somewhere at 450-465 miles. I like to fill it at around 400-425. I've started getting in the mid 43 mpg within the last couple months. It used to be 40-41 regularly.

My driving hasn't changed, I did do the big three upgrade though.

NHYarisFan · 05-11-2009, 09:05 PM

Hi Yaris World just got my new yaris a month ago and i LOVE it. I love the mpg. I filled up about 8 times so far and i get 380-420 miles per tank :)

Pitt Yaris · 05-11-2009, 09:20 PM

I get 400 a tank....about 38 mpg.

XYaris · 05-12-2009, 10:35 AM

I voted for 280, which frankly is optimistic. I live in NYC and almost all my driving is urban, even my 10 mile highway commute is stop and go. When I travel long distances even at high speeds I get about 40 mpg (so like 400 a tank). I have sticky tires and a fairly heavy right foot, but to receive the mileage some folks get is a hard thing for me to imagine. Props to you folks.

Pitt Yaris · 05-14-2009, 11:06 PM

Just filled up, got 41mpg. I can't believe I got such crappy mpg with the stock oil/oem filter. I was filling up at like 330 miles, now I'm filling up at 410 miles.

mryaris · 05-15-2009, 01:34 AM

I get to the last blinking bar right around 380 miles or so and fill up 10-15 miles later. I haven't actually hit 400 miles on a tank yet but pretty close (I'm sitting at 393 miles right now). My driving is about 65% city and 35% highway.

Pitt Yaris · 05-15-2009, 01:40 AM

That's not bad. I don't have a lot of stop and go traffic. I have 5500 miles, so next oil change I'm gonna give synthetic a try. This first oil change is went with castrol gtx and napa gold oil filter. Upped me 80 miles per tank. Screw toyota oil/filter.

YAR1S · 05-22-2009, 11:37 PM

approx. 645 kms or 400 miles per tank on my 3dr auto.

1NZYaris1 · 05-23-2009, 12:20 AM

Averaging 660km's around home , and on long trips (500+km's) about 840km's per tank

thebarber · 05-23-2009, 04:29 AM

600kms in-city w/ a manual 1.5L. almost 700 highway

marcus · 05-23-2009, 09:09 AM

600km sound very close to mine.. but on a 39-40liter which mean im averaging about 650km on 42 liters..summer.. long trip i did 710km on a 40 liters..

NZYari · 06-05-2009, 08:50 PM

In my first Yaris - 1.5 A, about 520km.

In new RS 1.8 6Sp M about 490km, but drive it accordingly. Most driving for this is rush hour - 1/2/3 gear for 15km trip in mornings, 75 - 90 kmh at night

leasaunce · 06-06-2009, 08:03 AM
