Not impressed with mpg!!! - Toyota Yaris Forums

could be one of many of these things:

1. you weigh a lot, trust me the yaris can get shitty mileage if it has to be forced to drag a tubby person.
2. your carrying a lot of stuff in your yaris, take out that junk!
3. you jack rabbit... take it easy when you take off from a light
4. when the engine is cold, take it easy, it wont let you go into gears as easily and you could be loosing a lot of gas by forcing it to go fast in cold weather.
5. change your air filter... it helps.
6. make sure you have a good way to measure the mileage... I dont know how the others on here do it but I trip the meter when I fill up and as soon as it starts to blink thats the number I use. Once the blinker starts its consumed close to ten gallons... divide the total by ten.. pretty easy.
7. dont speed!!! take the slower route, it will be less stressful and cheeper!!

Those are the top SEVEN reasons that usually prevent (MY) yaris to loose fuel economy.
