instead of mentioning my best milage, let me share with you all my worst...
driving condition: (1) 100% city driving (2) >60% is jamming/slow driving (following car crowd) (3) multiple traffic lights (4) short travel distance (<10km from engine startup & engine stop) (5) frequently rev at 2.5-3.0k rpm (mostly for pickups after idling) BTW, i'm driving an autogear 1.5... the result: approximately 10km/L this is what i summarize after 13 times of refilling petrol & my yaris is currently running at aound 4500km... cheers...

Ive run out of gas before w/ it blinking. But i didnt notice when it started. only that all of a sudden as im exiting the 400, i notice its flashing. and my car died on me before making it to the next gas station in richmond hill. That sucked. Had to call Toyota Roadside assistance and have them bring me that 5L of gas!

Latest tank returned about 41.78 mpg (Imperial) or 34.77 mpg (US) or 6.77 liters/100 km or 14.78 km/liter.
City/highway = 30/70. A/C was on about 20% of the time. Load was two people plus some belongings most of the time. Driving style: Synchronize with normal traffic. Weather has been gradually warming up, and it must have helped a bit. Last update is at Post #1145, Page 77. Historical:http://www.gassavers.org/garage/viewgaslog/264 |

This may not be news any more but the $1,000 incentive awarded by the Canadian Government to people buying the fuel efficient Yaris can be seen in some detail here:

First post on this thread. Great thread by the way. I used to drive an RX-8. Got the Yaris because I couldn't talk to my kids about the environment with a straight face and still drive a fuel sucking rotary. Love the Yaris.
Working on some subtle mods and audio. I'm probably parroting someone else's comment and preaching to the converted but there's three things to remember to achieve good fuel economy: 1. Keep your tires properly inflated. 2. Keep unnecessary weight out of the vehicle. 3. Avoid jackrabbit starting/stopping. First tank since purchase: 514 km from 37.27L (7.25L/100km) with around 80% city driving. Is there a general consensus on whether economy improves after vehicle break in/oil changes? Cheers |

As for your question about whether economy will improve after vehicle break-in/oil changes, my owner's manual (06 RS LB) does say on Page 178 that: .......following a few simple tips for the first 1600 km (1000 miles) can add to the future economy and long life of your vehicle....... Although oil changes are not mentioned in the same section, Page 182 says that: .......Oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders........A new engine consumes more oil, since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls have not become conditioned......... I will take it to also mean that a new engine (say, one that has not yet been broken-in) should also consume some more gas (at the same time as it consumes more oil) than one that has already gone through a good break-in process because there should be more friction for the former to overcome. It follows, albeit vaguely, that time wise for a new car, after one or more oil changes, economy can be expected to improve because by then friction should have been reduced. Please share more of your experience any time. In fact, any members are welcome to share theirs here if any consensus is to be perceived at all. |
