My best MPG so far... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Weather and traffic (route) conditions can help out as much as most mods and dedication to technique wins out over everything.

My latest commuting max is 52.5 Mpg (duplicated 3x) by taking the scenic route using only county 2 lane highway to get home from work. {50 miles of 40Mph speed limits}
With the warmer mornings and fewer construction issues my average on the trip into work has steadily crept up from 42 Mpg, to 45, and this morning 49.7.

Watching the Scanguage II certainly helps to tune in and give it just the right amount of gas to maintain desired speed or revs. After a year of practice, I can just about feel when I am putting the right amount of pressure to the gas.

It has taken a year to be able to do it consistently but I have met my goal of doubling the average commuting mileage of my previous ride.
