23 mpg...really??? - Toyota Yaris Forums

xnamerxx · 07-23-2012, 02:53 PM

The only thing I've noticed that really kills fuel economy in these cars is driving to fast ie faster than 75 mph. I've done a few sub 26 mpg tanks but it's always been from driving 90+ mph for long stretches of driving. Being the car has 30k miles on it I doubt anything mechanical or electrical is wrong with the car a bad filter can reduce mileage but you would need a crazy blockage in flow for it to be bad. I'm willing to bet its due to driving style ie flooring it driving through traffic or crusing at 85 mpg on the freeway or having to drive through the mountains things like that.
