Broke 50 MPG - Toyota Yaris Forums

STC · 12-01-2010, 08:14 PM

Filled my car up this evening after the Northeast rains ceased! 9.819 to fill the tank with 495 miles driven. Came out to 50.412 MPG...

What helped to break the 50 MPG barrier again was a trip over the Thanksgiving Weekend to see family and friends. Over 80% driving Highway. The other driving is my normal country roads to work. I'm also using non-ethanol gas. The gas station I fill up at still has around 1,500 gallons of premium non-ethanol gas. After they get below 500 gallons they will convert over to premium ethanol gas. Regular gas has already changed over to ethanol at this station. There is hardly any demand for premium gas... so I will keep using it until they convert. The weather wasn't too bad either... pretty mild for mid-November in PA.

Cheers!
