Broke 50 MPG - Toyota Yaris Forums

STC · 08-04-2010, 11:47 AM

Hi Everyone:

Just the other day, I was able to reach consecutively 50+ MPG... this time 52.166 MPG.

No different techniques then last month... and the same tire pressure. The only difference is I took two trips (200mi and 100mi) instead of one.

It has been very hot and muggy! The Yaris loves the heat and highway trips...

I'm using the A/C still about 1/2 the time of my driving. It seems that using the A/C has not had any affect on fuel consumption...

Hopefully, I can make three consecutive 50+ MPG tanks? The cooler weather will be coming soon, the Yaris does not perform as well in FE for the PA Winter Season.

Cheers!

Gas Tank mile increments (non-ethanol gas used):
1st Bar drop (8/8) > 112 mi (112)
2nd Bar drop (7/8) > 85 mi (197)
3rd Bar drop (3/4) > 40 mi (237)
4th Bar drop (5/8) > 73 mi (310)
5th Bar drop (1/2) > 83 mi (393)
6th Bar drop (3/8) > 60 mi (453)
7th Bar drop (1/4) > 55 mi (508)
8th Bar drop (1/8) > 0

Tank total : 508 miles
Fuel used: 9.738 gallons
MPG: 52.166
