My best MPG so far... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Cosworth · 05-24-2009, 09:38 PM

So, driving back from OH to MI (300 miles) I was able to get 49.4 mpg.

The driving condition was ideal, IMO. Flat terrain, not much traffic, cross-wind for only about 75 miles of the journey.

Speed: 68-75 mph (using cruise)
Distance: 306.2 mi
Fuel: 6.201 gallons
psi: 29 front & 29 rear (yeah, it was low)
Tire: oem w/ ~27k miles
AC: on for ~ 2hours
Temp: 85 at start --> 65 at end
Mods: none
Load: driver only
Stops: 1 for dinner

I only wish I had a SGII to tryout hang-time pulse-n-glide.

-SC

p.s. After this wonderful achievement my gf drove the car in 30/70 (city/hwy) setting... and got only 33mpg. WTF!
