Good job, Tonavi.
I had a personal best my last tank full, as well---37.44mpg. I only have about 2,500 miles on my Yaris, so hopefully I can improve as time goes on. My Ecometer helped me reach new FE highs, as well..... |

That's why I always do the math and calibrate the SGII. Go to More >> Fillup and update your values. The SGII is about 8-10% off right out of the box. Doing the math and updating the values keeps it accurate.

I leave mine on FIA, MPG, AVG, and FWT for my four gauge options.

i don't even use a SGII anymore. i couldn't find a spot that i like to put it in the yaris, so i didn't install it. i had it in my scion, so i already know how to drive this motor
my last tank was 49.4, the tank before 50.6...i think i'm doing ok ;)

AWESOME on the 50! I can get 45 with some hard effort, but never 50. What does it take to get that?

Did a test a few months back and My wife was able to pull 41.6 MPG. She is a great driver and you can not tell when she is pulling the hyper mile techniques.

Hypermiling is my daily driving style. No matter what I'm driving I maximize coasting, accelerate easily, stick to the speed limits, etc.

What type of driving do you normally do (hw, city, back roads?). I would assume that the type of driving you do would affect how well hypermiling works. If you are basically always on the highway then the best you can do is simply go slow. You can't really practice some other hypermiling methods.

My personal best has been 41.3 with 10% moonshine gas. I am tempted to buy a tank of ethanol free premium that is sold on the Reservation near me to see if I can get >45mpg.
The caveat is that the booze free gas cost $4.23/gal. |

no kidding!! I just filled up at $1.273/L this evening. According to Google as I write this, that's just over $5 USD per gallon.
As far as I know it isn't possible to get ethanol free gas in the Great White North either. 10% blend 87 octane in my tank. |

Do the math, either way you're being screwed by Ethanol or Premium. Last edited by Yaris; 04-17-2011 at 10:41 PM. |
