Personal Best with MPG - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hey guys... I've only filled my car up twice so far... I have a 2010 five speed, three door base model. I've only filled the car up twice with fuel, this last fill up I got 42 MPG. It was mostly highway, but I was going 72 the whole time. I also had the A/C on for about 1/4 of the tank. It's very humid here, so I know the engine doesn't like moisture.

Does 42 sound okay? I have been driving a standard transmission for quite some time now, so I know what I'm doing. Now I'm just trying to perfect my shift timing. I've been shifting at about 2,000, I read somewhere on here that 1,500 is a good spot for the engine, is this correct?

I plan on getting 50+ this fall, when the air gets dryer, and I don't have to use the A/C.
