Fuel Economy - Toyota Yaris Forums

Just got back from a trip to Florida (from Pittsburgh) and got anywhere from 43.5 to 46.3 mpg on 4 tanks of gas (currently on the last fill-up), with different terrains and different conditions (ac on some of the time, off some of the time), plus, the car was loaded with luggage, two adult sized people and one 11 year old. 95% of the ride was highway, but here and there with traffic jams and some city driving once I got to Atlanta and then Orlando, there was some city driving as well. I must say, I'm really happy. Now if I can only get the 34 mpg that they promise for city driving; my 1st tank with 95% city driving got me 30.4 mpg. I was a little disappointed with that, but I don't know how full the Toyota guys and gals filled the tank, so it might have been half a gallon or so shy of full -- that might have made a 3.6 mpg difference; we'll see.
