ah, hmmm, once you get up to speed, back off the throttle to the point where, if you were taking off in first gear, you would be accelerating slowly.

My car is 09 hatch 5spd. with 80+k miles. I dd the crap out of it, but lately I started hating the MPG. Any ideas what could caused it? I bought car new and I used to get 39MPG my best for the full year. And now I'm getting 25-28??? I do regular maintenance, changed air filter like 2 mos. ago. Flushed all fluid, change oil filter on a regular routine. All the general stuff. Should i switched to a thicker oil now since she got she got some miles on her? Also, I only fill her with Chevron 89 octane since day one.

I have a '08 Yaris 5spd 2dr. hatchback with less than 80K miles on it.
I have been getting around 36mpg in winter and 40mpg in summer. The best I've gotten so far is just over 42mpg. |

Just did a fill ... and got 635KM with 36.660 Litres. (Pretty typical for me lately, but down just slightly from where I would like to be) This equates to 5.77 L/100 KM or 40.76 MPG US.
I filled it up with Shell Gold V Power (no ethanol) as I want to see if I get better mileage with the Ethanol free gasoline. Guess in about 2 weeks I will see if it is worth the extra $5.50 that I paid for it. The car does seem somewhat peppier with the ethanol free gas (91 Octane compared to 87 Regular) .. so I shall see how things work out. |

I sure will post on my results. Should be about 2-3 weeks for this tank. It was $1.349 compared to $1.199 per litre for regular gas, so an extra 15 cents per liter .. or about 57 cents a gallon more for the Ethanol free gas. I don't think it will be a regular thing, but I want to see if it makes a difference. I would have to get about 60 extra km's per tank for it to be financially worthwhile.

Last tank I pulled 39mpg with my fuel controller connected and driving spirited for many of those miles at 9psi of boost...pretty happy there!

Not so true especially since you are stock you would be running lean so you would be starving for fuel then I love how good the car is on mpg and that includes being boosted. In July when it was almost 90 here and I ran 11 runs at the LSRs at of course the 120+mph range for a mile of each run (so 11 miles at over 120mph) I still averaged over 28+mpg! I could not have been happier. Even the event a couple weeks ago going the 6 runs on the one day at 130+mpg I was once again at the 28+mpg. All this while at 8/9psi of boost.

I just finished my tank of Ethanol Free Shell V Power Gold gas .... and the results are well "Nothing to write home about". I got 638 km and 36.88 liters. This is 5.8 L/100 KM or 40.55 US MPG.
Interestingly, this is EXACTLY the same fuel economy that I got with "regular" 87 Octane 10% Ethanol gasoline. So .... looks like the Ethanol free doesn't give you any better gas mileage. I watched a YouTube video recently and it showed that for cars like the Yaris, there is no difference in performance in the higher grade gasolines. I think we have shown that there is NO benefit to spending the extra money to get higher grade gasolines. |

On one single Journey I managed 55mpg, not bad for a Yaris where toyota claim it should only achieve 52.5MPG from a 1.33 Manual.
On average I do a lot of mixed driving so my MPG maxes out at about 39-41MPG. Davy |
