Can't seem to break the 60 mpg barrier - Toyota Yaris Forums

Amdkt7 · 06-15-2013, 06:12 AM

I put 38 psi in 5000 miles ago. I use pulse and glide, which is all about coasting! This route that I take to and from work is perfect for doing a lot of coasting.

The ride home has a net 300 foot elevation drop, which is why my drive to work is not quite so good. Last few days I managed above 50 mpg going to work,

A few weeks ago I was getting 47 going to work and 51 coming home, but I added the pulse and glide technique after trying it in rush hour traffic crossing the city on the interstate and still getting 50 mpg. Made a believer out of me!
Thanks for the vote of confidence! Some people are born to bash I guess.
