41.2mpg! - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hypermiler · 07-02-2009, 11:17 PM

Fiiled up again this morning. 41.7mpg! SO much has to do with the fact that the roads where I am are all FLAT. I mean FLAT. Plus, there aren't many stop & go areas where I drive to and from work, pretty rural (farms, small towns, etc.). But this is much better than the 24mpg that I was getting with my old Buick!

Two consecutive in-town tanks with AC on, 42.4 MPG. Not a fluke. (but its got some mods) 105 F here today with monsoon humidity.

It's nothing close to flat here. The little hill on my street just before I get home I used to coast down at 38.5 MPH when I was commuting on my bicycle. I accelerate up a more gradual slope to about 35 MPH before I hit it.

For me, highway mileage is definitely better. Three weeks ago I traveled from Rochester, NY, across PA, down into WV. I got 44.9 mpg, averaging 70 mph with no ac.

That is AWESOME!! 44.9 - That's as good (if not better than) what you'll get in a Civic Hybrid or a Prius.

Beware the hybrid hype!

If auto manufacturer's could turn a profit on these low-dollar micro-cars (like the Yaris), they'd be tauting the mileage these things get. The hybrid is much sexier and WAY more marketable, so people fork over the bigger dollars for the honor of driving "green".

We, the Yaris owners, know the truth...

Congrats on your awesome mileage!

Mostly highways .. 3338 miles ~ 40MPG (60-62 MPH) .. not bad at all! =)

(According to my ecometer, there is simply no way I can get better gas mileage in-town... pretty much any 0-30mph acceleration at even the most excruciating pace will light up "red" on the meter. )

I get consistant 40's around here, I got 35 on my last highway trip

Everyone here is lucky.

I got I think it was exactly 28MPG average last tank. Which is about average for my heavy foot/larger rims/tires.

One thing that amazes me, is I live in such a crowded place, people should look at the highway cameras to see how this place really is. Cause if it isn't stop and go on the highway and quick acceleration, then its red lights and stop signs every block or two.

You're getting very nearly the EPA city estimate. I think that's good under the circumstances you describe. You can't always have amazingly high mileage.

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-15-2009, 01:19 AM

No flats where I'm at. And when I'm in the city, MANY, MANY stop and go.
