Is this possible ? 95.2 miles w/ no bar lost ...

[Hershey]

and Eco-Meter reading 42.8 which is set at 95 . So , the gas mileage may be better than what it's showing . This tank is GULF 93 w/E10 and a 12 ounce bottle of Chevron Techron . The tires are four Blizzak WS 70s set at 36 p.s.i. . Here are the pics .

I know I lose a bar when 2.2 gallons are consumed, so 2.2 X 42.8 = 94.16, yeah, very possible.

Though I usually lose the first bar at around 85 miles.

I have done that! Once i filled up at 30,000 miles so that i can see.

I will drive less and more gently since the cheapest gas in town is 3.82 as of now.( it's been raising 5 cents everyday)

Had to go shopping earlier tonight and lost the 1st bar at 101 on the way there . Did change the oil to SHELL full synthetic 5w-20 ( SN/GF-5 ) along with the Toyota oil filter today . The car really seems to like this oil . Will keep updated until next fill up ( or sooner as well ) . This is the result when we arrived back .

Forgot to mention this is the 4 speed auto .

It does seem to me that the first bar or two on mine last a wee bit longer than the rest of the bars. Just you watch; the next few will go down faster.

funny, my first bar disappears in about 50mi :P (my driving style)

[caineroad]

the ecometer can you change it to km/l?

[Nicfin]

I haven't had my Yaris long, so I have only filled up a couple of times. On my last tank, I went just over 90 miles (around 93 I think) before the first bar disappeared. The others went down considerably faster.

Mine is a five-speed and I was using non-ethanol 87 octane.

[Hershey]

The bars have been disappearing faster as you said . The 4th bar at 260 .

[Spidermandud]

Just a gimmick to make you think you're doing overly spectacular at the beginning I think.

40+ from the eco is still sweet though, eh? :D

remember the yaris gas can has a rubber bladder, so it changes size and shape depending on the temperature and other variables. Plus the in tank measure is horrific, to say the least. There has been reports of people running out of gas with the gauge showing 2 bars.

It also depends on if you overfill the tank as well, because the gauge in the tank only goes so high.

Uh oh, I just hit one bar today and figured I had around 50 more miles. I guess I will find out how accurate my gas gauge is.

The 'overfill' issue would explain why the 'first bar drop' on my tanks occurs at a mileage point beyond what it seems to be most people are experiencing on this thread. My best is a first bar drop was a bit over 140 miles and my worst was at about 98 miles. I rarely drop below 115-120 re first bar drops. I fill my tank all the way to the top so that my MPG calculations are relevant from tank to tank. This would also explain why (after long ago running out of gas while pulling into a gas station to fuel my Yaris and filling all the way to the top as I usually do) I know that my Yaris will take 12.777 gallons, which is more than stated in the specifications for the Yaris.

You are also in Houston, which means the rubber bladder will always be larger than almost everyone else in the USA. I generally fill to the second click, because I've never been able to trust the first one.

...that 12.777 gallon fill up was actually in the SF Bay area and I had been there for a few months when that happened, but yes most of the times that I have come close to that total have been near Houston. I fill my tank to the top of the neck so that the gas level has just become visible.

That's flat out dangerous.

Always 1 click of the gas nozzle when filling . Try to use same pump as well .
