embarrassingly bad mileage... REALLY - Toyota Yaris Forums

I put my stockies back on for winter and get 2mpg more than I did with my 17s,which made me feel pretty good.

Heavier tires,stop and go traffic and cold winters take milage down.Also look at the vent setting,if it is in the defrost position your compressor will run to dry the air,using more fuel,and it will do it most notciable at stop lights.

After getting my car realigned last week I also have gained another mpg,and am back up to 35 mpg for highway travel.

when I drive all city travel,with defrost or AC on with the17s I average about 25mpg,i have a heavy foot at stop lights......

But coming from a gas guzzling hot rod to the yaris.......this thing is sipping gas......GTO ate up 15 gallons in 3 days,and that was only about 140 miles tops......much happier.
