Yaris great gas mileage ! - Toyota Yaris Forums

I'm not sure what may be different. I do think that the route that I drive works out great, mostly mild hills (though that one hill either adds or subtracts 4-6 mpg to my current average).
I almost always fill up at the Shell station, with 87 octane, states "up to 10% ethanol. Only a few weeks ago 53 mpg was my best trip average, now I usually get that on the up hill route.
If I get on the interstate it goes down quite a bit, however I had four in the car on a trip down to Tracy City to go hiking and drove 70 on the interstate, had the AC on, and did not use an P&G, or other tactics that would annoy my passengers, and averaged 43 mpg for the day. I got 47 mpg for that tank of fuel, half of it for that trip, and the other half doing my normal commute.
Best tank so far is 51 mpg.
I think it helps that my commute is North/South. The winds seldom effect me much.
