42MPG - Page 4 - Toyota Yaris Forums

My 2009 Fit AT is smokin' my 2007 Yaris AT in mileage. No contest.

My Fit got 46.6 MPG using straight cruise control at 65MPH on a 250 mile round trip. I did use my paddle shifers to hold 5th gear the whole time though.

My Yaris would get about 40MPG using cruise at 65MPH.

Wonder what Honda did to the '09? Good for you! Even though I knocked Fit off my list because of price, a secondary concern for me was that I couldn't find massive numbers of people reporting better than EPA mileage like you can with the Yaris.

The Fit is still an ugly car tho

I have gotten 44.67 mpg on a 400+ mile round trip with cruise set at 70 mph, A/C on high and outside temp at 103 degress, with NO hypermiling techniques!

2007 Sedan with AT

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, since I'm only getting about 33.5 mpg so far (50% city/50% hwy), and my LB only has less than 2000 miles on it. It's an AT though, and I am trying to use DFCO, I think what kills me is the fact that the main roads I can take to work have speed limits of either 65mph or 70mph, I take the 65 one most of the time and it's impossible to even go 65, since this is FL everybody thinks it's ok to speed I guess.

custom Lftback · 10-27-2008, 09:14 PM

haven't broken 40 yet, but I only have 850 mi on it yet.

natethegreat38 · 10-28-2008, 11:28 AM

i got 40.2 this past weekend... One trip, I averaged 55.1 mpg (according to the Kiwi)

natethegreat38 · 10-28-2008, 01:59 PM

I like the gearing of the Yaris, but I think the Fit is geared to provide more torque from such a small engine...

nsmitchell · 10-29-2008, 09:57 AM

I don't get to drive it all the time unfortunately.

i am driving it today though.

metalshark · 11-16-2008, 02:19 AM

I'll see your 42 and raise you one....three times in a row. On my first tank eight months ago I only got 35.6 MPG. Through mods and DFCO my numbers are now upside down, 39 highway keeping up with traffic and cruise set to the posted limit, and 43 MPG in town using DFCO and cruise set to the posted limits. The next mods I try will be a PTFE fuel/octane treatment and some oil treatments. The goal is 40 highway/44 city. At 15,000 miles it's almost broken in. Considering their durability, I define a Toyota fully broken in at 20,000 miles and some of them I've driven 250,000 miles on the way to the bone yard.

metalshark · 11-23-2008, 02:05 AM

One month above 40 MPG. More than four tanks were used in the calculation. Gotta love 5w-20 plus not having to use AC.

Rich k · 12-11-2008, 12:27 AM

Best tank this summer driving to and from work 34 miles ea way 1/2 stop and go thru traffic lights was 49.987mpg, average for june and july was around 48 mpg lots of 49.9XX tanks, that was with about 15,000 miles on the car.

otterhere · 12-22-2008, 10:48 AM

Still trying to break 35 mpg here...

derickveliz2 · 12-22-2008, 11:21 AM

I found out that when I was using tires with 23.9 in in diameter I was getting 40-45 mpg (OEM) Now I'm using 23.0 in diameter tires and I'm getting 34-38 mpg

And if we take in consideration that my tachometer is off by almost 3% then mpg are some where in 32-36 mpg.

So I'm guessing that some of the yaris owners who are using 14 in wheels and / or other tire size that the diameter is around 23 inches then this could be what makes the big difference.

metalshark · 12-27-2008, 09:24 PM

Christmas fill-up. 43.0 MPG commuting. Woo-Hoo. Temps are 35-45 F during my commute and I'm on winter gas now. 18 K on OdO now. Last year when it was new and un-modified I was getting 35-36 MPG.... but I wasn't hyper-mile'n yet then.

TSYARiSS07 · 01-05-2009, 08:41 PM

How many miles can you go on a full tank of gas?

Doug007 · 01-05-2009, 08:52 PM

I have been keeping track of my mileage on the EPA.gov website since I bought the 2007 Sedan S with 12 miles on the odo. My overall average is 41; low is 36 and high is 48. Even with winter tires I'm maintaining 39-40. Not sure if my minor mods have anything to do with it (Magnaflow exhaust, K&N drop-in and Red Line transmission fluid), or if it's my driving style. I'm still chasing the elusive 50mpg mark!

mikenacarato · 01-05-2009, 09:02 PM

my avg is around 42mpg as well! beats the heck out of my old lincoln.

daf62757 · 01-08-2009, 11:04 AM

Just curious if anyone has changed their spark plugs and tried the Bosch Platinum Ir Fusion plugs. I just bought my Yaris and in the process of getting it changed over to Synthetic oil and getting some mag wheels.

Has anyone tried new plugs?
