Fuel Economy

[malibuguy]

i'm onto a good tank

118.9miles when the first bar went off...i'm usually in the 90s

[STC]

I filled-up my tank this morning... click to click with Shell ethanol gas on the same pump as a couple weeks ago. I'm starting to like Shell gas

Gas Tank mile increments (ethanol gas used):
1st Bar drop (8/8) > 135 mi (135)
2nd Bar drop (7/8) > 60 mi (195)
3rd Bar drop (3/4) > 55 mi (250)
4th Bar drop (5/8) > 60mi (310)
5th Bar drop (1/2) > 60 mi (370)
6th Bar drop (3/8) > 65 mi (435)
7th Bar drop (1/4) > 75 mi (510)
8th Bar drop (1/8) > 0 mi (510)

Tank total : 510 miles
Fuel used: 9.666 gallons
MPG: 52.762

Cheers!

^ Correction! I got confused. It was two different brands. Exxon was the last fill... the fill prior was Shell. Shell fill-up this this morning. I'm filling with shell after this tank on the same pump.

Cheers!

Yes... I like Exxon and Shell. I get the best mileage from using their gas! Excellent job on your 2nd and 3rd bar mileage readings!

Cheers!

Very Nice, malibuguy.

With AC running during our Maryland heat wave, I pulled 50 mpg out of my '07 ATX sedan.

I ran 545 miles on the tank. 10.9 gallon fill.

Just had by best tank yet. An even 45.0 MPG. I think that's the best I can do.

401.8 miles and a blinking bar . Took 10.05 gallons . So , calculation of 39.98 m.p.g. overall . We have ECO set little lower so we know it's doing better than what it displays . This is the 4 speed automatic .

Driving pretty hard this tank (smashing it around town and on the freeway, shifting much later than I normally shift, etc), and some AC usage. SGII is reading 36.1 mpg for my afe (average fuel economy). I set the SGII to read a little worse than what it actually is, so I'm thinking it's really ~37 mpg.

I just broke 50 for the first time this weekend. Two round trips from Hilo across the summit of Kilauea and back, plus lots of noodling around the Kilauea summit and Ka'u Desert roads. About 50 stops (engine off/on) during that noodling, as well. (150 miles total) :D

for an auto transmish will putting the car into neutral and coasting to a stop save a little gas ive always done this maybe not all the time but most of the time (i havent searched anything on this so i dont know)

[bkrownd]

If you know what you're doing it can save fuel in the right situations, but rolling in neutral with an automatic transmission could potentially also put you in trouble if the engine stalls while you're coasting. More of a problem with a heavy SUV (been there, done that) than a Yaris, but it's something to keep in mind.

[malibuguy]

when your in neutral you don't get fuel cut off

[matthewai]

yeah i didnt say "get fuel cut off" i said to save a little but i guess thats how you interpreted that thanks great job!

[malibuguy]

51.22mpg last tank with a/c

[Hershey]

Got 41.69 m.p.g. calculated . This is a '08 base model sedan w/ auto . The ECO showed 40.9 , have it set lower . Tires set at 34.5 and 87 with 10% ethanol .

But you DO conserve your hard-earned momentum.
