Fuel Economy - Toyota Yaris Forums

Right now my Yaris fuel mileage is without the bounds cast upon it by mankind, but of course it is parked in the garage.

On a serious note I have averaged 41 MPG (to date) counting every gallon of gas since purchase. My commute is approximately 50 miles per day with about 45 of those on Interstate highway at a steady 65 MPH. My friend has an equally capable vehicle, but does much worse. She accelerates hard from stops and drives at ever fluctuating speeds on the Interstate. You know the type, she always races ahead, but you catch up to her at the next red light! We toke her car on a trip and I drove achieving the highest MPG she has ever had with that car. She was pissed, but started to pay attention to how I drive. We both are going to get a Scanguage to improve our results (I hope) through driver discipline.
