New guy's first tank report - Toyota Yaris Forums

Paulee · 10-14-2015, 10:25 PM

so I bought a black 09 yaris stick in the GTA, Ontario, Canada two tuesdays ago and I just filled it this past Sunday. Got 6.7l/100km or 35mpg as you Americans count it. Not bad. hoping for mo better from now on.

Keep the shifts around 2,000rpm and try and limit yourself to 105km/h on the highway, if you do so you'll easily get sub 6L/100km. I drive anywhere from 120-135 on the highway and each week do some redline pulls and i'm still getting around 6.5L/100km and that is with a larger throttle body and ported intake manifold.

Take care of the car and it can easily be a 15-20 year car. Due to where you live it will be the salt that you have to worry about. I'd recommend getting it sprayed in the spring at a place like krown, it'll make your life easier if you ever want to do any work under the car.

Btw, where abouts are you located in mississauga?

If you do a lot of city driving will not happen. I almost never get below 6.5L/100km.

Congrats on a truly reliable Yaris. On any car they say after you cross 60 MPH you'll be burning 18% more fuel. I set the cruise control to 59 mph when I'm not in a hurry and get great gas mileage.

My avg is 7L/100km, city only with 2 long stretch I can do 60kmh. My trip to work is about 4km.
I shift at 2500rpm most of the time.

Best i got was 6.2 on costco regular. I do a lot of traffic. Put 5k km on it in less than 2 months. I'm near erin mills and the QEW, tmontague

I wonder what opinions are as to what the slowest speed is at which point the highest mpg occurs. To my experience it doesn't get any better at 35 than at 60. I almost only drive the car short distances less than 10 miles start to finish and get 36 mpg in summer, 32 in winter.

I think the weather, including temperature and wind direction play way more with mileage than speed does.

My 15 SE gets between 35-37 mpg and I rarely take it over 65 mpg. When I drive 75 it drops down to 32-33. I drive 60/40 highway.

I drive my car like it's a golf cart. I floor it all the time. I go as fast as I can as much as I can. no regards for rpm, shifting points, blah, blah, boring. I like to drive on the ice and snow!
all 3 last fill-ups came to exactly 30.06 mpg.
the one before that was 27.6, but we had a big snow storm, so I was extra playful...
