Now, just because you can't or haven't done it doesn't mean that it's impossible. My Yaris has mods, but they're all performance mods intended to help autocross performance. Specifically, I have a DC header, an aluminum crankshaft pulley, a removed back seat, and 15x7 wheels (11 pounds each) with 215/45-15 performance tires.

I'm not quoting "instantaneous" readings from a downhill coast, my friend. If I were, the readings would be "9999" because the car goes into DFCO in that condition and uses NO fuel. I'll sometimes quote trip mileage for discussion because if I can do it for a 20-mile trip, it stands to reason that a person could (as BailOut regularly does) do it all the time. My tank averages are, as I have stated, usually around 45 mpg. I did do about a half-tank (250+ miles) hypermiling trip once and achieve 49.9 mpg, and I'm sure I could do better than that now.

My city mileage is better than highway mileage largely because I can usually manage to make the "stop and go" traffic work FOR me. Accelerating very slowly, and coasting in DFCO for as long as possible, avoiding STOPPING by starting the coast early enough that I might be going 20 mph when the traffic ahead starts moving again.

It sometimes pisses off people behind me who don't "get it", but I invariably reach the same place at the same time as the people who are driving like jackrabbits from light to light.

mods.
