Short drives for now, but I'm planning a long trip soon

Hard to properly break in a new vehicle if all it is doing since leaving the dealership is short hops.

Not short hoops, actually I drive about 45km round trip, on a daily basis, weekends are a different story tho. But I will do a long trip soon, like I said

So I just came from the dealer and they said the timing is ok, the spark plugs wear looks normal and all the other values seem to be ok. However, they said the performance I reported is not normal. They said they will get the official fuel performance values from Toyota for that car and they will let me know. Meanwhile I should keep logging the numbers, I'll try to be as much precise as I can and I will also do a long trip to see how it goes. I did asked them to give me the test results and their comments written for further reference.

So, after several tanks and a visit to the dealer, the fuel performance improved. It is doing, if not close, the same as my 2005. I know some of you guys still say that my old one's fuel consumption is still high, and I believe that this is due to the fact that my cars are 1.3l engine (2nz).

Anyhow, I am not sure if things improved due to the fact that the engine is broken in, i've done some long distance trips, or the dealer did something on the ECU, things started to improve after they "checked" it. They told me that all the values were within the parameters but I think they did something to the ECU's programing.

Whatever the reason I'm glad to hear that the MPGs are up.
