Figures, I move from there, and you're gonna be there (but just for a day).

Like I said, I'm up for any day planned other than the next two weekends. Gotta move to a cheaper apartment

So, just wondering, are you guys big on getting the best mpg numbers possible, or do you just try and have fun? So what else should i know about the cruise to st helens?

Mostly were just about getting together, having fun, and talkin' yarii (and other car stuff too, and micro-beer )

The cruise is pretty fun, we all meet in the parkinglot next to the shell station in castlerock, then form a line and head up the mountain, then head down, then grub! Just an FYI, they don't allow racing up and down the mountain and will kick those who do out, and I believe there isn't alcohol allowed in the park. Other than that it's a lot of fun, and the thread is stickied in the Regional, northwest section. Afterwards in the threads some of us post our MPG numbers. Last time I went I averaged 36mpg, which is pretty good for me. My girlfriend might come in her yaris, and hers usually nets mid 40s (it's a stock manual).

Hope you can make it, have yet to see any sedans at any meets I've been too!

Sweet two sedans!

Were I live there are PLENTY of sedans, but they're all "older" people who don't do squat to them, seen a couple with rims and tint, but that's about it. Will be nice to have some sedans representing this year.

That's fine if your stock, we don't mind! Impressive MPG numbers. I know if I tried the girls yaris could do even better, but were pretty happy with the 38-44mpg were getting now.

This came out of the DFCO thread...

"Yes, but it does it best if its firmware has been upgraded with the XGauge feature. Hit the "Menu" button, Select SETUP, then FUEL, then CUTOFF and set it to 21. Once done the instant MPG display will show 9999 MPG when DFCO is occurring.

If your SGII has not been upgraded with the XGauge feature you can verify a DFCO state by correlating several other readings:

1) LOD (Engine Load) will drop well below a reading at idle. My 5MT Yaris shows an LOD of 43 at idle but only 34 in DFCO.
2) GPH/LPH (fuel rate) will bottom out at 0.2 - 0.4 GPH or 0.75 - 1.5 LPH.
3) LP (fuel system loop) will be solidly Open.
4) MPG/LHK will go to the high side (it will take a few seconds but it will go quite high, i.e. 100+ MPG)."


Does anyone know if any TPS number lower than 21 is accurate for DFCO taking effect? seems a little high, but it seems it might be true.
