I'm curious on how many of you run your Yaris on premium fuel. I have since the day I bought my Yaris and I get 19km per litre using cruise control and A/C off. My Yaris is a 1.5 lit auto sedan. I thank that's a bit over 51mpg. For those interested in cruise control, I had an Autostrada cruise control with steering wheel controls fitted to my Yaris with excellent results. So far I am very happy with the ubit.

doesn't that kill the whole point of trying to get good gas mileage? If you spend the money for extra gas you aren't going to save money by getting better gas mileage, if it does indeed help you to get better gas mileage.

It is one thing to be efficient, but it is down right dangerous to drive a sub-compact that slow on the interstate. Take your hyper-miling techniques to the state roads.
Flow of traffic in Central PA doesn't exist. Here in Centre County PA the speed limit is 55 MPH on half the areas of interstates (I-99) and US highways (US-322). There are more cows per mile than people. LOL! The drivers are relatively sane in their driving habits and don't go over posted 55 or 65 MPH limits. When I go on trips to big cities like Philadelphia or Pittsburgh... I always pick up the pace to accommodate the traffic flow there... they go well over the limits.

Yeah, a lot of my hypermiling techniques are on State and Local roads.

I lived in Miami, Florida for 28 years. It would be crazy to drive the way I do if I where still living down there! The flow of traffic there is 75-80 MPH, easily!

Cheers!

I'm using premium gas only because it is hardly used and it is the last batch of 'non-ethanol' gas left here. When it runs out probably some time in November I will go back to regular. Regular is Ethanol now...

Cheers!

50.412 MPG

Filled my car up this evening after the Northeast rains ceased! 9.819 to fill the tank with 495 miles driven. Came out to 50.412 MPG...

What helped to break the 50 MPG barrier again was a trip over the Thanksgiving Weekend to see family and friends. Over 80% driving Highway. The other driving is my normal country roads to work. I'm also using non-ethanol gas. The gas station I fill up at still has around 1,500 gallons of premium non-ethanol gas. After they get below 500 gallons they will convert over to premium ethanol gas. Regular gas has already changed over to ethanol at this station. There is hardly any demand for premium gas... so I will keep using it until they convert. The weather wasn't too bad either... pretty mild for mid-November in PA.

Cheers!

Gas Tank mile increments (non-ethanol Premium gas used):
1st Bar drop (8/8) > 90 mi (9)
2nd Bar drop (7/8) > 70mi (160)
3rd Bar drop (3/4) > 55 mi (215)
4th Bar drop (5/8) > 90 mi (305)
5th Bar drop (1/2) > 60 mi (365)
6th Bar drop (3/8) > 60 mi (425)
7th Bar drop (1/4) > 70 mi (495)
8th Bar drop (1/8) > 0

Tank total: 495 miles

Question: one thing I don't get is why every bars' mileage is significantly different from the other? When I first bought my Yaris I saw 8 bars, so I assumed that I'd be able to get around 90 to 100 km per bar or around 800km per tank. Man was I surprised when I saw the 3rd bar drop at around 50km! It would've been great if all bars dropped at the same mileage.
I'm just sayin'....

I know what you are saying...

You can't calculate each individual bar the same amount. The physical properties of the plunger is the reason for the different mileage points. Usually the first bar will be the largest... the tank can be topped and the plunger is at its highest level. I got 90 mi on my first drop. During my third into fourth bar drop I got 90 mi reading too. I was travelling to my destination on my trip at this time. On my sixth to seventh bar drop I was travelling home... the reason for the 70 mi reading. The fifth bar drop was highway driving visiting friend after I reached my destination while on Thanksgiving vacation break.

Cheers!

I hear ya! Still, the fact that you can get over 50 MPG on a single tank is quite remarkeable! Kudos to you!

Hopefully I'll be able to break to 50mpg barrier one of these days! I've been doing alot of reading in the fuel economy thread and have been applying many of the techniques I learnt on my daily commutes to and from work (about 50km daily) and the most I've accomplished to date is a mere 37mpg....How do you do it??? Does your Yaris run on water?? LOL!

I'm not your 'normal' driver. I drive extremely gentle on the accelerator and mostly highway miles. It helps that my driving hours are when the roads are empty. I can drive at my own pace. Also, non-ethanol gas for now... helps in MPG.

These are two (2) excellent Stickies! IF you follow the hypermiling techniques in these stickies you will definately get the miles...

Cheers!

Maybe America pulled a fast one on all of us and decided to go the easier measurement way... metric ;-)

Canada winter... ouch! Warmer in this latitude.

Nope... These are US Gallon/Mile log figures... Really
