588 miles using every last drop of your 11.1 gallon tank = 53 MPG. And I must assume you didn't run out of gas. Sorry dude, but I'm a bit skeptical. Were you coasting down a lot of hills with your engine off?

This is a good poll. Only thing is that it changes depending on season. You do significantly better in hot weather than you do in freezing weather.

With the current spring climate, I reach about 375 miles to the last bar with about a gallon left. So about 415 or so to empty. Half the time I'm going 75-80 mph.

I voted for 310 per tank, but I also usually fill up at the 2 bar light or as soon as it goes to the first slow flashing bar. I've never put more than 9.8 gallons in the car, due to fear of running out of gas. I am a decent hypermiller where i live, in the terrain and traffic that i face each day, i'm pretty happy with my results, but would love to get 39-40+ MPG. I guess i can't get irritated when people cut me off, and try to chase them down once in a while.

I just did 537.3 miles on a tank. I filled up with 10.485 gallons after 537.3 miles for 51.26 MPG. That's my first 50+ tank of the year, and despite driving over the mountain to work in 3 inches of slush yesterday.

I did an experiment to see the worst gas mileage I could get. Over 50% of my tank was gear limited, stereo blasting, A/C on, very aggressive driving. Haven't checked my tire pressure or air filter in months. Mostly city driving through hills. My yaris is 2 years old with 70k miles on it, and I have the wrong transmission fluid in it right now(dexron IV). I had about 150 pounds of stereo and random crap in the trunk. I had one or two passengers for over 50% of the tank. Tried to maintain 80 on the freeway, and never dip down to 65.

295 miles on 9.5 gallons - 31 mpg.

I tried and I tried, but just couldn't get the 28 mpg some people on here are getting. Maybe I need to let some air out of my tires and put another 12 in the trunk.

I'm about 370 as well, but that's in a Yaris Verso ("Fun Cargo" to the Japanese!) which I guess has a bit more air resistance, but only a 1300 engine.

OK I don't understand how you guys are getting such great mileage? I try to use hypermiling techniques but consistently get crappy mileage, around 450km (280 miles) per tank. The best I've gotten is 505km (313 miles) per tank.

I drive usually 40mph (60km/h) and my commutes are mostly city driving.

WTF is wrong with my car?

I'm pulling a little Supmet tactic this week...driving at least 65mph on the freeway all week, hit 75 and 80mph when passing, gunning it enough to keep from getting cut-off (usually let the jerks just push their way in), using the A/C when I'd normally run the vents...296 miles and still @ 1/2 a tank. Maybe it's the Soltron?

Edit: Or maybe it was the 87 octane Sinclair (No Ethanol)
Filled up last night: 43.67mpg

I got 380 miles when the car was brand new, now I get about between 320-340 out of a tank.

There's the "problem". If your mostly city driving, you won't get the 40 mpg we are all claiming. It depends how bad your city conditions are. Are you stopped and idling often? Plus, accelerating from a stop up to speed burns most of your fuel.

Remember, the Yaris EPA rating in the city is 29 mpg. So if this is about what you're getting, there isn't a "problem".

While voodoo22 still holds the record for the longest tank in the Yaris (588 miles) I just got a new personal best of 569.3 miles.

The fast blinking on my last bar happens somewhere at 450-465 miles. I like to fill it at around 400-425. I've started getting in the mid 43 mpg within the last couple months. It used to be 40-41 regularly.

My driving hasn't changed, I did do the big three upgrade though.

Hi Yaris World just got my new yaris a month ago and i LOVE it. I love the mpg. I filled up about 8 times so far and i get 380-420 miles per tank :)

[Pitt Yaris]

I get 400 a tank....about 38 mpg.

[XYaris]

I voted for 280, which frankly is optimistic. I live in NYC and almost all my driving is urban, even my 10 mile highway commute is stop and go. When I travel long distances even at high speeds I get about 40 mpg (so like 400 a tank). I have sticky tires and a fairly heavy right foot, but to receive the mileage some folks get is a hard thing for me to imagine. Props to you folks.

[Pitt Yaris]

Just filled up, got 41mpg. I can't believe I got such crappy mpg with the stock oil/oem filter. I was filling up at like 330 miles, now I'm filling up at 410 miles.

[mryaris]

I get to the last blinking bar right around 380 miles or so and fill up 10-15 miles later. I haven't actually hit 400 miles on a tank yet but pretty close (I'm sitting at 393 miles right now). My driving is about 65% city and 35% highway.

[Pitt Yaris]

That's not bad. I don't have a lot of stop and go traffic. I have 5500 miles, so next oil change I'm gonna give synthetic a try. This first oil change is went with castrol gtx and napa gold oil filter. Upped me 80 miles per tank. Screw toyota oil/filter.
