Better fuel ecomomy

I have 5000kms. on my auto 4 door. When new I would go about 525 km. on 39 liters. Now after some breakin?, I am routinely going 640 km. on the same 39 liters. Same 50/50 highway/city going to work route, same driving habits- trying to stay at a max. 2500 rpm. Works out to about 46 mpg.(Canadian gallon)
Couldn't hope for any better considering Transport Canada rates it 40mpg.city and 50mpg. highway.

It does get better the more you drive it. I have just over 13,000km on mine and I am hitting the advertised economy rating. My commute is about 95+% highway and I am getting 5.557l/ 100km which works out to 50.853 mpg. Just make sure you keep her under 110kph

Thought I'd chime in here and add to the statistics

I have ~4000km on my 5dr LE w/AT. As a rough guess, I do 70% hwy/30% city time-wise.

My fuel economy so far (as a total avg) is 7.15L/100km. This has been mostly in the dead of winter (I took delivery end Oct 2006). I do try to drive gently and pay attention to excessive idling, acceleration, & speed.

My best and worst figures have been 6.88L/100km (did more hwy) & 7.52L/100km (did more city).

Decent I supose, but I had hoped for numbers a bit closer to the gov't posted figures (at 5.8L/7.1L) . It is encouraging to hear from AngryBusDriver (cool handle BTW ) that things should improve with time.

Hooray ! Please forgive the conceit and complacency and cheer with me for the fact that this thread has been visited more than a thousand times! Let us face it fellow members, fuel economy is one of the important factors that make the Yaris popular, and warmer weather is around the corner.... So keep posting here!

My 6th tank has helped me cover 591.8km. Refilling till spill took 43.808l.
Translation:
38.5mpg(imp) or 33.1mpg(US) approx.
13.51km/l
7.4l/100km
About average. But warm weather should be coming.........

The exact opposite, actually, it burns more gas in the winter, and this is the same for all cars...

In the 60's and earlier gasoline did use to evaporate, however fuel systems and emissions control are now such that any modern car will give off less emissions while being used hard then most 60's cars did while idling.

Did I post this link earlier? It lets you convert from one fuel economy measurement to others.

6.7 l/100km is 35.11 US MPG. That is pretty good.
