2012 Yaris LE Poor Mileage - Toyota Yaris Forums

Ok first. The manual does get better mpg than the automatic. I bought the automatic because they only offer the manual in the sport model. I didn't get very good gas mileage in the automatic I own for 5000 miles as the engine broke in. At 1000 miles I went to full synthetic oil, as I was sure the engine was fully broke in. With full synthetic in the engine and transmission I now regularly get 40mpg driving 60 and 65. Manual owners will do better that this. Also my 180 mile round trip is mostly flat with some city and some highway miles. I make this trip about 3 times a month. I hope this helps.
