42MPG - Page 5 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Christmas fill-up. 43.0 MPG commuting. Woo-Hoo. Temps are 35-45 F during my commute and I'm on winter gas now. 18 K on OdO now. Last year when it was new and un-modified I was getting 35-36 MPG.... but I wasn't hyper-mile'n yet then.

How many miles can you go on a full tank of gas?

I have been keeping track of my mileage on the EPA.gov website since I bought the 2007 Sedan S with 12 miles on the odo. My overall average is 41; low is 36 and high is 48. Even with winter tires I'm maintaining 39-40. Not sure if my minor mods have anything to do with it (Magnaflow exhaust, K&N drop-in and Red Line transmission fluid), or if it's my driving style. I'm still chasing the elusive 50mpg mark!

Just curious if anyone has changed their spark plugs and tried the Bosch Platinum Ir Fusion plugs. I just bought my Yaris and in the process of getting it changed over to Synthetic oil and getting some mag wheels.

Has anyone tried new plugs?

Spark plug change shows up at 120,000 miles on the maintenance schedule. :-)

I've only had my 2008 Sedan for a short time. But I've determined that with negligible wind, over slightly hilly terrain at a steady 67 mph, no A/C, it does about 44 mpg. I'd expect to see 45 mpg at 65 mph. I Just finished a trip at 70-75 mph and the (as yet uncalibrated) scangauge is reading 41.0. I'll be filling up in the morning to verify. But I noted that the fuel gauge started blinking almost exactly when the scangauge predicted I'd be at 1.6 gal.

My 1988 Chevy Sprint Metro gets 53 mpg under the conditions of the first trip mentioned. Amazing little cars, those were. Blows away the Yaris' fuel economy, and even beats the 3rd gen Prius on the highway. And all that at 345,000 miles.
