Broke 50 MPG - Toyota Yaris Forums

docB · 09-05-2010, 09:16 PM

What kills on the highway is the difference in speed. Also, todays and the Carter era cars were designed to run best about 60-70 mph. 55 usually has a rhythme with the road that puts you to sleep. Todays stats show more people on the road driving a bit faster w/ less carnage.

I run 42 in the front tires, 35 rear. Less understeer. 15" Goodyears. The RE-92 is a mileage tire? With a tread rating of 160, that is not the case.

I also have a hard time with instantaneous FE figures. Track all the gas you burn and give me the milage from that. I have over 11k miles and am just shy of 40 mpg for allof them.
