The Beautification of Car

All your Yaris still care of MPG?
I don't hardly lately, since the gas price are drops dramatically. I drive hard, speeding alot, and you know what i feel good about it.
And last time i got 33mpg instead of around 40mpg+. But still the weather got cold now, love the winter time. Hope there is snow this year in GA. Well anyway i hope the gas is not going back up at 5 dollars a gallon again, or else i feel very old in my yaris. .... |

Doesn't bother me none. Still don't have to hit the gas station for 3 to 4 weeks at a time. No worries. Still tempting to speed though

A full tank only lasts you a week? Personally, I feel that gas prices should have stayed up so that more of the gas guzzlers and gas wasters would stop driving. |

I've never tried to get better MPG.
But Yaris gives me good one :)

Most definitely. Money saved on gas is money which can be spent elsewhere.
I drive a lot, around 450-490 miles every week so mpg matters. I drive till empty and fill up to full. 47-49mpgs-- average of 48mpgs over the weeks. I've even tried incorporating the use of my bicycle--every bit counts. |

I've been getting almost 49mpg on my last couple of tanks. Has to be the hyper-miling techniques I've been using.
I think alot of the other LB drivers have lead feet. |

Yeah I never thought of that before...I guess if you have one lead foot you probably have another one too, making lead feet

A tank only last me a week also. I have a 40 mile commute to work so there and back for 5 days is 400 miles. Then a little bit of running around on the weekend. I got my 08 in mid August and it already has 6000 miles on it which includes it being in the body shop for 2 weeks from Hurricane damage.

Wow, seems like you southerners like long commutes. Nothing like a quiet couple of hours every week with the beloved car.
My commute is only 18 miles a day and a tank usually lasts me 2 and a half weeks or more depending on how many extra-curricular activities I have during the week. |

SORRY, but I don't believe you are getting 48 mpg. It is not possible unless you are going down a mountain, drafting a 18wheeler. |
