my mileage seems to have improved by 3-4 mpg since i put the lightweight pulleys on, i think the change in the engines response time has affected my driving habits in a good way, lol.

noticed it when i went to tillamook, my mileage went from 35 to 39. and i drove really aggressive, too.....going to fill up today and see what I'm at.

Best: 42.6
Average: 37-39
Worst: 33ish

2008 3dr mt, tires@45psi, 5w-20 syn oil, air filter changed monthly (i drive quite a bit of dirt roads) mostly highway around 70mph, a/c doesnt change mpg that much- i should probably also mention per tank i idle with a/c on for 1-2 hours- doing work, reading specs, hiding at job sites

and i finally ordered an ultra gauge to see if it'll help any

I have two goals. One is to break 53mpg which was my best tank ever on my old Saturn. The other, my stretch goal, is to have a 55mpg tank. I like to dream big.

Are you talking UK or US gallons ??? :) My best was 53.3 UK mpg. I also got 52.3 on the previous fill up with some city driving, all my family (2 adults, 2 kids) and trunk FULL. This was during vacation traveling.

50.3 US MPG. I guess that comes to about 60.4 UK MPG or 4.68 L/100km (if I did the conversions right). I got that driving myself to/from work on mostly flat highway with no additional weight than my laptop bag. Yours is good with a full load of family and gear. I love this little car!

As of today 42.2 per fuelly.com. I'm stoked.
I know its because of fuel blend changes, but I have been working hard to get the best mileage possible . Yet today is WOW!

I am just new to the Yaris forums just getting my 2007 Yaris recently. I am looking forward to finding out what my gas mileage really is (I am on my first tank of gas still). I am thinking about getting a ScanGuageII very soon .. as I think it will make things more fun and allowing me to see how my gas mileage varies with my driving habits.

Well I have done my first tank of gas in my newly acquired Yaris. I managed to get 6.75465 L/100 km which works out to 41.82 MPG (imperial gallon). I am happy about it .. though for some reason the last 2 bars on the display went away very fast. I guess that maybe the top bars go away slower than the bottom bars. It took 36.475 litres to fill the tank from shortly after the display started to blink.

I am wondering .. does anyone know the size of the gas tank in a 2007 Yaris RS 3 Dr LB ?

I want to get one for the same reason; it'll almost be like a game driving to and from work. My commute is on hilly country roads where I'm the only car around, and so far the best I've managed was 46.4mpg.
