14 vs 15 inch tires
My 2009 Yaris Hatch came with the 15 inch wheel option. Im wondering if this is helping the mileage any? (I assume the gears in the tranmission/final drive etc are the same...or am I wrong about that?) I know compared to my ECHO the Yaris just wants to go in a straight line. It takes a far higher effort to make it turn, possibly due the the electric PS (which only seems to work at low speed) and possibly due to the larger wheels. Its much steadier on the highway compared to the ECHO but the ECHO is much nimbler.
So hopefully Im gaining some in the mpg department? |
