There are a number of Ecometers on the market, some have different features, all plug into the diagnostic port under the dash. Instant feedback of your FE is very helpful, it can really change your habits. The 2012-13 models have a very basic one built in, which is what I'm using at the moment.
The Scangauge II is popular, but I have not done any research yet into buying one. The one built in is hard to see, and you have to toggle between six or seven different modes. |

^^^^^ This post prompted me to think about a question I've never happened upon on Yarisworld....namely...How much does a gallon of gas weigh? Your thought above prompted me to think about members who have taken out their rear seats (some re the weight). I wonder how the weight of half a tank of gas would compare to the rear seat and seat back (and bolts/hardware)?

Gas is 7 pounds per gallon. Thats 77 pounds for a full tank. Not a good reason to drive around 1/2 full!
I would take my rear seat out too but what if I sell the car? I would lose everything!

Me three! I do have to bite my tongue though when I'm around my little cousin or I'll get an earful from her mom....and her mom is right (I have come to believe). If kids develop cynicism (I think a certain amount is healthy), it should be from their own experience and not from mimicking/modeling adult relatives, IMO.

I do think it is wise to not allow yourself to be run empty if you can help it. Best err on the side of caution than throw caution to the wind !!

Our RACQ charges you here if you run out of petrol - and it is not cheap. The callout if free but the re-fuel is not.

Never had it run out, but did have the feeling it was off. Sometimes it goes down slower than others. Like yesterday night I filled it and it was approx 8 km away from home. went to another city and came back and it still showed full. Drove it approx 25km more and it went down one bar, so that was like 137km total distance to go down. Drove it again 55km and it went back down another bar. Filled it up to the top, and was 13.856L. Not too far off, but the gauges arent as accurate as we would prefer. Its a 42L tank, about 11 gallons.
