embarrassingly bad mileage... REALLY - Toyota Yaris Forums

TLyttle · 01-26-2009, 11:59 PM

Mmmm, maybe. I NEVER make ANY 4-holer pull hard below 2,000rpm, including my Yaris, and I seldom rev over 3500, but I still get excellent mileage. The first thing I did was run up the tire pressure to sidewall max -2lbs, and resumed my usual driving style, ie don't slow down for corners, never floor it, read traffic so that I don't have to slow down any more than absolutely necessary. Works for me.
