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.

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.

You've heard of hyper-miling right?
