45mpg
It seems with age my Yaris is getting better mpg, last take recorded 45.12mpg 440 miles on 9.75 gallons of regular 87. I drive a 2012 stick with 31000 miles on the odometer. For mods I have removed the hubcaps, rear seats, and spare tire. This was all suburban driving with some A/C usage.

Nice! My engine only has 320 miles on it thus far, and is probably still in the "break-in" phase.
I'm still getting accustomed to the smaller (11g?) gas tank in my Yaris, which creates the illusion (according to gauge level at end of week) that I am going through more gas per week than my old 2000 m/t Accord EX Sedan (w/17g tank). I will be doing my first gas tank refill later today after work. On my Accord, I had to put around $25-28 into the tank each week just to get from around half back to full tank. The same amount of money on my Yaris should take me from nearly empty back up to full, at current prices. I have no idea what gas mileage I am getting on my Yaris currently, while doing my normal weekly routine. I will have to watch it more closely this coming week and see what I am coming in at for MPG. - Last edited by Kalispel; 08-21-2015 at 03:06 PM. |

Looks like you drive an SE? I am tempted to trade up... There is a black stick shift one locally too.

I prefer the 'average' MPG function. When I pressed the button and held it down, the old 32.X 'average' reset to 0, and then seemed to restart from that point on - as it was less then 20mpg for the first few minutes of driving, while leaving my house and poking around my neighborhood streets in 1st/2nd gear before hitting the main road. The'average' display on mine never jumps around, and slowly either goes up or down by 0.1 (or stays the same) as you drive under different conditions. - |

When other posters have mentioned the '99.9' on the 'instantaneous MPG Gauge' in various posts, they have usually done so (at least in my observation) re how the '99.9' MPG on the 'Instantaneous MPG Gauge' ends up effecting (overstating) the Average MPG reading. These past posts led me to think that the Average MPG Gauge 'Calculates' using (fully or partially) some sort of sampling of the 'Instantaneous MPG'. Those past posts from others re the effect any '99.9' instantaneous readings have on the 'Average MPG reading' could be 'all wet', so to speak . I just use the 'Average MPG Gauge' as a guide. I still do an old school written log book, and calculate each tank separately. |

Every now and then I get in a hurry, and actually keep up with the traffic on the short stretch of Interstate I traverse to get to town, 80 MPH speed limit! I use the air con. a lot also. I STILL am getting over 40 MPG averaged out over the last 3 years. I also from time to time, floor it and damn it's pretty zippy too. No hub caps, spare, rear seat, jack, etc. Mid 40's very easy to achieve when driven as usual. 80K miles.

Just for your info, on my 2014 SE the trip computer usually reads about 1.5 mpg higher than actual pen and paper calculation.

Or more likely you are getting better driving it gently.

I also have the 2012 Yaris (M/T). I the summer, almost every tank is over 40mpg, unless I do a lot of 70+mph freeway driving. 43mpg per tank is probably average. My current tank is at 47.5mpg with a bunch of careful driving (and warm weather). In the winter, my mileage probably drops by 1/4 or so, unfortunately.
