Yaris Sedan gets better mileage than Yaris Hatchback - Toyota Yaris Forums

.....well, at least according to this chart from consumerreports. Check it out:

On another note, driving slower improves Fuel Economy....but you already knew that... Check out what the Yaris gets. It's the last on this chart.

hell yea

supmet · 11-02-2009, 06:53 PM

I'm guessing between all the cars listed in both tests they drove less than 5000 total miles.

Consumer Reports are bought out shills who don't understand anything about scientific method.

sedan could have a much better coefficient of drag

toad · 11-02-2009, 09:46 PM

i believe the sedan weighs a little less, but i can't imagine it making 'that' much a difference(33avg. vs 30avg.)!

captainm27 · 11-02-2009, 09:47 PM

Maybe it's like BuildCode says, lower coefficient

supmet · 11-02-2009, 10:15 PM

coefficient of drag is 0.29 for both, I don't remember the exact numbers, but they are within half a percent weight wise

I promise you the answer is CR is retarded and probably 5-10 mile trips which will generally lead to wildly inaccurate conclusions when it comes to a car's fuel efficiency. On top of that they probably let one warm up longer(or cool down less in between other cars' tests).

Consumer Reports was a good unbiased source of information up until about 5 years ago..

I lost all faith in CR back in the 80's when they gave the Dodge Colt a much better rating than the identical Plymouth Colt.

captainm27 · 11-02-2009, 11:34 PM

Or maybe it's because the sedan RULEZ!!

Yaris Hilton · 11-03-2009, 12:03 AM

Yep, the sedan rules.

I can't imagine how they got such low city mileage with either the sedan or the liftback. Bad driving, for sure.

fujiwaru · 11-03-2009, 02:56 AM

sedans FTW!!!! i still love the LB Yaris as well even though i don't drive it. just saying it as a fellow yaris owner :)

Nice links but they do seem inaccurate.

23 mpg in the city for the sedan, but 44 on the highway? It does a lot better than that in the city. The highway number is achievable if you keep it under 60-65 mph.

44 mpg is achievable at 70 mph.

Not without hypermiling techniques.

[such as high pressure in the tires]

I call shenanagins.

driving normally and not caring about mpg my piglet
in a pretty hilly area gets 28mpg city on a bad day.

how they came up with 23..must have been smack downtown
Boston on halloween night or something to come up with such gross numbers

and 44 highway....shenanagins again

I have got 44 mpg @ 70 mph, tires at 32 psi, 100+ degress outside, with the AC on 3 and 4, the whole trip. I don't call those hypermiling techniques....

Lazerdot · 11-03-2009, 03:45 PM

43MPG highway, without tryin hard....

Hills or no hills? That's more the question.

Best I can get on a daily commute that involves up and down hills often, was 37.3mpg. And that's with an average speed of about 68-70, no AC. (Not that I noticed a difference when the AC was running.)
