MPG Tip - Toyota Yaris Forums

I am not a motorcycle driver or owner but they probably don't have an evap recovery system.

This may be valid on a bike but I can't see the validity on a car (or at least newer ones).

I also think running the fuel down isn't bad. I know about how many miles I can go on a tank and fill accordingly. I usually have a gallon or so left in the tank (which is roughly 40 more miles). I tend to fill up at least once weekly (actually my other car) and couldn't imagine filling twice a week just for the added time it takes. I drive around 500 miles weekly so I am probably not the norm.

Ditto, sounds like we do the same, lol. I keep my trip meter on display all the time and I reset it every fill up to calculate :)

Mine did, but it was one of the first thinge that got removed because if you tip the bike over, the cannister gets flooded with fuel and you can't restart the engine.

You're right. The tanks are sealed systems.
