Amazing Gas Mileage .. way too easy.

[edmscan]

Just an update .. I have been able to get averages according to my ScanGauge between 47 and 54 US MPG. However on my last tankful I am getting more like 42.87 US MPG.

So yea .. I guess an average is just that .. average. I wish that I could somehow get tank MPG similar to my averages. I find that when I am able to take advantage of DFCO then I am able to get better MPG ratings.

Unfortunately I live downtown and there tends to be more traffic .. so I always get lower MPG whenever I get closer to home as I am never able to maintain the great mileage I tend to see in the outlying areas.

I filled up today and got a little over 43 MPG US. I also had a new experience. There was quite a bit of thunder in the sky while I was filling up....and for the first time ever the power went out right in the middle of my fill up. The 14 other pumps were also in use and all 15 of us were cut off. I had to call my credit card company and eventually the system came back up on a generator and I was able to finish my fill up with a new transaction.

Kinda makes you wonder why people continue to use/drive vehicles that get mpg figures in the mid teens to low 20's as daily driver single occupant vehicles.
Like my red neck brother who lives out in the woods in Florida who's last 3 vehicles have been full size dualie pickups..He calls my Yaris something a Communist would drive,also when driving around with him lord help us if he sees a Prius which results in a half hour diatribe blasting the driver as a socialist tree hugging liberal commie environazi hypocrite.

The guy that sold me the Yaris I have now .. is a Prius driver now. (He bought a Prius C) .. and gets something like 64 US MPG or maybe more. It is an ok car but I still love my Yaris more. I think that they are driven by people that are sick of paying at the pump.
