Wondering why people complain that Yaris' cant get good mileage?!
I deliver pizzas for a living. In a pretty heavily stoplight filled area. I on average get 40mpg in town, and have gotten 48.5 on a the highway. Its a great little car! Just drive nicely and it will treat you well.
I tell people what i get and it blows them away. I dont know why. lol |

Shut your fricken suck!!!

LOL! I did the same thing when I drove the car for the first time. I was stoked about the way it drove, but pissed that it only fot around 200 miles to the tank. I then figured out that it was not in the right gear, and got it back into drive. Then I noticed the difference: I lost some of the power, but gained twice as much mpg.

I usually average 40mpg maybe a bit less in the winter,any one getting much less than that either has a mechanical problem or they arent driving correctly..

Only 32 MPG! HELP!
Just bought my 08 Yaris sedan a couple of weeks ago for its supposed gas economy. I have now filled up the tank myself 2 times but have only seen 32/33 MPG. I was so excited to get 35-40+ MPG and am extremely disappointed. The car came with only 17,000 miles on it and as far as I could tell, was very well maintained.
My daily commute is 40-50 miles a day with 25 miles being on the interstate going 75 mph and the rest being dirt roads or city driving. Would the dirt roads make a big difference (going 40-50 mph)? However, I was able to take small trip (400 miles roundtrip) that was 85% interstate driving at 75-80mph and the rest city driving--was ONLY able to go 325 miles before having to fill up (gas flash came on) for a rate of 32 mpg. Last night I filled up all of my tires from the dealers 30 psi to 35.5 psi. I also filled my gas tank at the same time to see if this would make a noticeable difference. Too soon to tell yet, but would love to have some advice on how to maximize my fuel economy so that it gets at least 35 mpg. I bought the car thinking that 35 mpg would be the minimum due to many of the reviews I read of people stating they get 40+ mpg consistantly. Other factors: Nebraska weather has been 15-30 degrees since I have bought it and thankfully no snow or inclement weather...yet. I am also not the softest driver ever, but since buying the car have tried to be gentler but I am definitely a work in progress :) Would appreciate any help or ideas! |

I never really complained, but only inside my head! LOL! After getting only 27 MPG on my first (dealer) fill, I started to read these threads and start applying what I learned. Most of it is all about common sense driving...
Now my average is almost 45 MPG. Only 4.5 months old, I was able to get 504 miles on a tank, close to 50 MPG. I'm not doing so well now, only getting 45 MPG on my last tank. But, later this month and next month I'm taking a couple of road trips... Hopefully, I can break the 50 MPG barrier...

I never mentioned it, but my yaris is a 5 speed manual. Not an automatic as it sounds most of you have. And most of my driving in the past has been 100% city. Now im about half and half.
My current tank, i know its not completely factual but, im at 149.8 miles and the second bar hasn't dropped off. If it were to drop right now, id be at about 46mpg. Im hoping to go further before it does. EPA rated it so frickin low |
