Does Canada have the low sulfur gas they use in Europe?

I know the USA doesn't.

Our gas would destroy that engine in short order.

I got about 35MPG on my first tank, fwiw.

not sure, but i would assume we have the same diesel fuel as the u.s

Finally, I got my new car on Friday last week, but I didn't drive it too much. Till now I drove about 360kms, and the result is 17.14 km/litre, 48.45 mpg, 5.83 l/100 km. So I think this is

And hope, it will be even better after a few 100 kms.

Although I use it carefully, I tried to go a little bit faster, than allowed.

62mph-->3000rmp
80mph-->3800rmp (by the way, its a bit loudy at this speed, but not annoying, rather sporty)

First tank on my LB was 37 mpg with some highway driving. Second tank was 35.2. I has 800 miles on it. I have been driving very conservative. I am please so far.

Idjiit · 04-23-2006, 09:53 AM

FWIW, that 35MPG is with fairly aggressive driving. Breakin-in, smake-in.

D.A.L · 04-24-2006, 12:20 PM

Hey all. I got the car Feb 1/06. 2006 Yaris 5 door LE, auto. $21,000 all up - out the door, full tank. I have excluded the dealer fillup. I live in Toronto and 80 -90% of the driving was highway with a few trafic jams here and there.
Tank 1) 521km @ 38l = 7.29l/100 = u.s 32.27 or 38.75 imp mpg 2)560km @ 39.2l = 7.0l/100 = us33.6 or 40.35 imp mpg 3) 528 @ 38.8l = 7.34l/100 = us 32.05 or 38.49 imp mpg 4) 590 @ 39.3l =6.66l/100 = us35.21 or 38.75 imp mpg 5) 598km @ 39.47l = 6.68 l/100 = us 35.21 or 42.29 imp mpg 6) 594 km @ 39.5 = 7.29l/100 = us 32.27 or 38.75 ipm mpg 7) 642km @ 40.66l = 6.33l/100 = us 37.16 or 44.63 imp mpg 8) 773km @ 48.08l = 6.21l/100 = us 37.88 or 45.49 imp mpg 9) 330km @ 21.67l = 6.56l/100 = us 35.86 or 43.06 ipm mpg.
The car has about 6000km on it now. I drove very conservatively. Feb-march temperatures were around -4 deg Celsius.
Tire pressure was at 40 lbs. I got about 70-80km/bar average. I drove it to the flashing bar. I have never filled up past the 40l mark yet. For my long trips I would fill maybe 10l then add it to my total at the next fill up. COMMENTS ON THE CAR: Good points - considered a green car re: emissions, lots of interior room, decent sound system, great hp even when passing on the highway, decent mileage, fairly quiet on the highway, good fit and finish, nice control layout. Bad points: buffeting makes rear windows basically useless above 70kpm, 1st gear is way to low especially in city traffic re; it changes from 1st to 2nd then back down way to many times, OD gear on highway is way to low re: at 100kph your driving at 3000 rpm which creates way to much engine breaking when you let off the gas - even when going down hill which means you can't let off the gas going down a big hill without slowing down,
Harmonic engine vibration at 100kph (I’m going to get that checked), the black material used for the dash and door panels marks or scuffs way to easy and is hard to wipe down with anything but a damp cloth, needs cruise control, wipper motors, front and rear, are way to noisy, headlights should come ON AND OFF with the engine (it is 2006!). My expectations for this car are 1) great gas mileage as advertised, very low emissions as advertised, longevity because it's a Toyota. If you want to do your own mpg or l/100k conversions just google - fuel conversions or miles per gallon conversion- and you should hit a few sites with automatic conversion tables. For l/100k just divide you total km's by 100 then divide your total lters used by that number. ie. 592 km @ 38.5 lters = 38.5/5.92 = 6.5 l/100km. Thanks, bye for now, Don

Ron · 04-24-2006, 02:57 PM

Don, how in blazes did you manage to jam 48L into a fill? Must have been running it on fumes for the last 50km's!! It's a 42L tank, but taking into account the volume in the filler neck and the charcoal canister, you can probably put in a couple liters extra. but 6L!!

No kidding. And Don, Thanks for the post!

My latest. again, mostly city -- 85%/15% cities/hwy.
37Litre / 480 clicks.
It should gets better soon, hopefully.

ricko · 04-25-2006, 12:20 PM

I don't think Don actually got 48L into the tank. He said that if he short-filled (less than a fill-up), he just added that total to his next fill-up. For example 10L + 38L = 48L ......... the only people that could get 48L into a 40L gas tank are the NASCAR boys.

ricko · 04-26-2006, 11:05 AM

2nd tank ........... 6.3L/100km. Mostly paved county roads, and a run to Brampton and back on Airport Road.

Ziv · 04-26-2006, 03:30 PM

How fast do you drive on those county roads? 110 ~ 130 km/h?

Ziv · 05-02-2006, 11:48 AM

Oh yeah, now we should have more inputs that we have more and more members.

23 Litres/ 360 Clicks. The warmer the better, huh.

foober · 05-02-2006, 11:52 AM

I'm getting around 38 miles to the U.S. gallon. Half city half highway. I've only put on 550 miles on the car so far though.

ricko · 05-02-2006, 12:00 PM

Not quite that fast Ziv. Lots of speed traps up here, trying to make some $$$$ off the rich cats from Toronto. Usually I try to keep it under 120 kph. Going fast in a straight line is boring anyway (unless it's over 160), sweeping curves at 100+ is where it's at.

Ziv · 05-02-2006, 12:08 PM

well actually I got my Yaris going 160 km/h + on the 404 the other day. It's more stable then I thought it would be.

That is a good sign.

That is 6.19 l/100km.

AlphaFox · 05-03-2006, 02:43 PM

Please post if your using Imperial or US MPG #s. The #s on the last 2 pages dont state this so I cant make sense of the readings.
