Fuel Efficiency and the Yaris

Hate to ask again but don't they sell imperial gallons in Canada?

Very nice thread,
Yesterday was my first driving the yaris for longer distance - about 500km (~300 miles)
fuel consumption for the first 250km (150 miles) was - 9.5 l/100km (24.7 mpg)
for speeds between 120 - 140 kmph (75-87 mph) plus one time testing top speed - to 200 kmph (125 mph)

for the other 250 km (150 miles) my foot was very light :) just trying to keep constant speed - FC was 7.6 L/100km (31mpg) for speed between 100 -120 kmph (62 -75 mph)

the test was made on the highway with 2-3 stops for a rest
there was 3 people in the car all the time
the Car is yaris TS 2008 - 1.8L dual VVT-i

my next target is to try some road with maximum speed of 90 kmph (~56mph) and using DFCO - If I manage to make 5.9L/100 km (40mpg) with this engine - WOW! :)
Of course it cannot be compared to my motorcycle FC :) with full throtle open every time that is possible and speeds around 150 - 180+ kmph (93 - 112+ mph) FC is no more than 6.5 - 7 L/100km (36 - 33 mpg) it's the ultimate green peace machine :)

The gas stations sell in litres, the car companies advertise in IMP MPG, because they can create the illusion of better numbers, just like how they sell meat here per kg, but advertise prices based on lbs.

My last tank would be 65.79 IMP MPG.
