Tire Pressure Max - Toyota Yaris Forums

The term "hypermiling" refers to continually beating the EPA's combined estimate for your vehicle and can involve combining driving techniques with some changes to your vehicle (including tire pressure). Every additional change you make to your driving style and vehicle nets better MPG, and it all adds up.

The original combined EPA estimate for the Yaris is 37 MPG (it's only 32 under the cheesy new system). My last tank was 49.74 MPG (click my signature for more information) and I commute over a mountain 5 days a week.

By the way, Peter, I'm not angry. Disappointed at the lack of understanding and exasperated with some of the attitudes perhaps, but not angry.
