Using DFCO to increase your MPG - Toyota Yaris Forums

I've been using the transmission to slow the vehicle for very long time. Works very well when you need to stop in an emergency. My last tank took me to 39.69 mpg. This is the first vehicle I've owned that has actually performed to it's advetised mileage rating.

Yeah but you said before that you don't rev over 3k... I DO!

I'm glad you saw your increase in MPG despite the adverse conditions, Nutzoids. Using DFCO seems to do more for me, but probably because I commute over a mountain 5 days a week and can always use it extensively on the downhill side.

DFCO took me from 36 MPG to nearly 43 MPG without trying very hard, and I'm now at 44.86 MPG by combining some other hypermiling techniques with DFCO.
