Fuel Economy

I got a new set of Hanook H727, finally got rid of the Goodyear LS factory clunkers, and thought,I just filled up about 30 miles ago, so let me see how they do with standard 32 psi vs my normal 40 psi. So I did 38.8 mpg and thought, not bad! I got home after fill up and decided to go back to my 40psi to see what happens. Pulled out the trusty tire gauge and I'll be danged if they weren't all at 25 psi! I was ticked! Used both of my tire gauges to verify. Stupid installer! But it made me more impressed with the tires. Also explains part of why they rode so much smoother too,lol

How many miles did you wring out of the Goodyears? Pretty amazing MPGs for 25psi!

Here's the no bar and bar . As for tire pressure , always check the pressure after getting new tires or exchange of seasonal tires . Also , make sure the wheel covers are on correctly and snug . Usually do these right at the dealer lot . One time the salesman seen me checking tire pressure and says in a nasty tone " what do you think you're doing " . I replied , " checking the tire pressure " . Like I don't have a right to do so . Next time will check these things a block away so not to pee off anyone .

Only about 33000. Which is more than some, less than others. And realistically, with another rotation, they were good for 3-5000 more. But winter is right around the corner and I didnt want to chance it. If ya wait till it snow you wait forever. November around here you dont know what to expect.

2011 3dr 5spd (stock), 13,000+ miles

Best 41.02mpg
Avg 37.63mpg
Worst 35.12mpg

I have only reached over 40mpg's twice. My best tank was this last tank. Two tanks ago, halfway through I decided to try and get over 40mpg's. I did! The next tank (second to last measured tank) I tried to get over 40mpg's over the whole tank, I fell short 39.something. So this last tank I decided that coasting, slowly starting (rpm's under 2,500), and utilizing the DFCO function was too boring. So more than a few times I went through first and second gear just shy of 6,000 rpms (it is just more fun). I was just hoping to get above 35mpg's and wouldn't you know it, I got my best mpg's to date. I did drive conservatively occasionally during this tank, so it wasn't like I was always zipping around.

Two fill ups ago I had the first oil change and had them put synthetic 0-20 in my 2012 Yaris 5 speed. Since then on the past two tankfuls I got 43.4 and 43.2 MPG.
In addition to synthetic oil I run 40 lbs of pressure in the tires.

[Hershey]

Nice . What brand oil is it ? How about an used oil analysis of the 0w-20 and post it .

Over Winter break I found that the best way to get incredible gas mileage in a yaris is to go to florida, haha. I was doing high 40's or so mpg. The ultralight wheels garm sold me help; but I guess just getting out of tennessee and driving like a granny helps. Anyone wanna volunteer to go to florida and see?

[why?]

I got 38 or so mpg when I lived in florida.
