^ it depends on your driving habits, but you'll probably see at least 10% drop

Spring gas must be here...

I made 49.329 MPG last fill-up on 4/29. This was using ethanol gas (up to 10%) here in PA. Hopefully, I can make 50 + miles this summer using ethanol. To date all my 50 MPG a tanks where using the non-ethanol gas. The next fill-up I will be calculating a trip in my readings...

Cheers!

I don't think I'll ever hit 50 MPG on a tank.

I did learn a new trick though. It's starting to get warm with all the glass causing the "greenhouse effect" inside the car. I leave the fan on and set to recirculate. When I go down a hill I hit the AC button while in DFCO and then turn it back off before I touch the gas. It gives me a little burst of cool that helps quite a bit.

Mine is horrible... However, I feel like it's wonderful when I compare to my M3 which is 15-25MPG and $60 to fill up...

ecc_33 · 05-02-2011, 09:08 PM

just got 46mpg this morning on a full tank :D im happy with that

MattS. · 05-02-2011, 11:26 PM

I figured 32 mpg on the dealer tank with town/hwy miles combined. I am on the second tank now, but let my daughter drive on her learner's permit to get some practice. I'm sure that will not help much.... I hope to improve on overall mpg once I get it broken in, and learn more fuel efficient driving habits. I'll SOMETIMES miss my Wrangler I just traded in on my new Yaris ;)

How are people getting over 40mph on their cars? Seems like the newer models get better gas mileage. I have an 07.

Look at the stickies in this section and go to the very beginning where most of the tips are. I got my biggest improvement from DFCO (2nd sticky).

Trying a new driving style and got 41mpg on my last tank I'm going to raise the tire pressure in the near future. Anyone get any mileage improvements with high end spark plugs?

Idahotom · 05-03-2011, 01:19 PM

43.94 mpg on my latest tank, now I have to wait a long while before I get to fillup again! I actually look forward to filling up, how sick is that?

50/50 mix of freeway (65 mph TOPS) , secondary, and less then secondary roads, straight gas no ethanol ever.

It would be nice if pure gas was still available in PA... I miss it!

ive been tracking my economy the last couple tanks since getting the s/c installed

first tank, 7.77L/100km (30.2mpg)....a week of city commuting in cold (almost freezing) weather and a romp from kitchener to mississauga (45min) and back doing about 125kph (85mph)

last tank was 6.86L/100km (34.3mpg) which was a week of city commuting (warmer weather now...about 10C in the mornings and a drive from kitchener to niagara falls (1.5h), niagara falls to burlington (45min), burlington to kitchener (45min) doing about 110kph (70mph)

both tanks had intermittent romping on the s/c for fun...moreso on the last tank since i was w/o wife and/or child for most of my trip...

Manual transmission, no road rage, rural roads, and thinking ahead. I live in a semi-rural area, and we have broad shallowly sloped mountainsides where you can coast on the downhill leg for miles. I drive the same handful of roads weekly, and know how to get the most out of them. Also, 45-50 MPH highway speeds are normal here. I'm currently averaging about 45 MPG on my car's 1 year birthday.

MPG!

yaryarbing · 05-06-2011, 08:00 PM

Just travelled from Ohio to Maryland over the Appalachian range and hit 56 MPG on the tank.

45-55 mph on the upside of the range.
55-65 mph on the downhill slide.

Made the most of the DFCO with P&G tactics. Not a bad start for a new Yaris owner and completely new to hypermiling!

Wow, I've only reached 50 even in ideal conditions.

getting to go downhill for long stretches helps gas mileage immensely.
