ill switch to synthetic oil at my next oil change...

my best tank was 52.5 when I had around 2200 miles on my Yaris and only used 1.7 gallons. I filled up at Maine and drove back to massachusettes. 147 miles. I mean that was my BEST MPG, my 2nd highest is 45.3 on average for now is around 42.2


I noticed the difference in gas stations, sometimes you get a lot more since some of them thin the gas out. By far through some experimentation, Sunoco is the best. I am a regular Hess customer but lately I've been getting crappy MPG. I drive conservatively and I try to maintain a +, - 500 rpms between 2500 and 3000 rpms @ 63 mph. Coasting downhills as well as uphill through transfer of momentum before the peak is an added MPG if you do it well. *That's how I got 52.5 mpg* I am switching back the tires to 34 psi. Reason why is that I am at 201 miles and my tank is above the halfway mark which I think is unacceptable. Oh well, what are other people method of driving to conserve gas on a well fuel efficient car?

are you keeping a detailed log of your mileage? because one 52.5mpg tank, filling up only 1.7 gallons can definitely be an anomaly in terms of how the pump filled your tank. i'm using www.gassavers.org garage system to keep track. in 772.6 miles so far i'm averaging 36.3 miles per gallon. considering its nowhere near broken in i'm pretty happy. most miles are commuting, i'd say probably 50/50 city highway.

estimately 43.75 mpg ... is that right?
