I just drove cross country from Indy to DC. I almost squeezed 40 mpg (39.6). I averaged 65 MPH the whole way. In West Virgina, Pennsylvania, and Maryland there are some pretty good downhill grades and I thought that would push me over the 40 mark, but as most of you know, you have to go up the other side of the mountain and that eats the gas. Overall, not bad for such a hilly trip. On the way back I am going to drive 70 and see if that effects the mileage too much.

Did a fill earlier . Calculated : 41.82 ( 266.4 mis. / 6.37 gals. @ 1 click ) . Hopefully it pumped enough to fill the tank . Showed full . Time will well , if not still likely be over 41 m.p.g.. Continental w/ Eco Plus tires at 36 . About 30% city and the 2 of us for over 1/2 the miles .

I just got 615 km/tank and a 36.502 litre fill. This works out to: 47.59 MPG (Imperial) or 39.63 MPG (US). I am quite happy about it as I wanted to break 600 km. I gassed up shortly after the gas gauge started blinking.
I am running my tires at 40 psi .. and this tank was probably about 200 - 250 km highway driving. |

But Florida driving was easy. People were courteous and always would let me in if I turned on my blinker. Now driving in and around Boston is crazy. Probably the closest thing to demolition derby with no one really wanting an accident you can get. Always cut off the expensive cars, because they will stop. Funny thing is I never kept track of my gas mileage while I was in Florida. Well I guess I still don't, just quickly do the math at the pump.

I just about got taken out (he tried to prevent me from changing lanes) the other day ... all because my Yaris wasn't fast enough for Mr Road Rage.
All I had to say was .. "Watch me pass the gas station in my little Yaris". So there Mr Hot Shot ... some people just never learn. |

I try to stay in the right lane most of the time ... but this time I had to turn left and this loser was trying to accelerate to prevent me from changing lanes. But ha ha .. the yaris can go if it wants to. But I do agree .. it is best just trying to ignore those losers. Of course he had to honk at me as he went by ...
On a better note ... I have been able to get somewhat better gas mileage as of late. Probably another 10 days or so to see if my efforts are paying off. |

My new summer car is a mint 06 civic ex manual with only 42000KM, I can usually get 6.2L/100KM in that thing and I just bought my 08 yaris for a winter car to replace a wrecked dodge sx I had for last winter. I must admit I was pretty happy with my first fill in the yaris.
471KM/24.84L fill right to the gas cap lol. About 10% highway driving. I'm a courier in the city. |

I finally got up in the high 30's last week, my average was 39.85mpg, but only for a little over three gallons. I wish I took a photo of the receipt before shredding it, but next time! I've changed my driving habit to driving ~62mph on the highway and driving about ~45-50mph local. I accelerate slower and when coming to a red light, I let off the gas and let the inertia do most of the work. I'm greatly satisfied with the results! My lead foot is slowly letting off... =D

Anyone know if the first one (U.S. Domestic Market) has been delivered ?
I tried to start a new thread for this, but kept getting an error message.
