(or 5.32L per 100km).

Most of it was at 70mph except for a 20 mile stretch of construction at 50mph. I had the air conditioner on for only a couple of minutes. The trunk was full.

I'm pretty impressed by this little car (assuming I calculated everything correctly, and the trip meter and gas pumps were all functioning properly). I'll have to measure it again on my next trip and see if it compares.

wow thats almost better then the listed epa ratings...

nicknicknick, are you sure you are calculating properly? i can't see this car getting anywhere near 54 mpg, that is what many report the prius hybrid as getting

You guys got some ridiculus numbers. When is it going to be MY TURN!

well in my case it was the first tank, I drove slow, never going above 130km/hr

on my current/secound tank, i'm just driving normal without looking at the gas uasage, and i can see its burning it faster, but i also have driven at 140 too...

will post the results of my secound tank when it runs empty..

My last highway trip I drove 710kms on 38-39 litres.

My last city fill was 31L on 478kms.

I will say that I live in Saskatchewan, and there are virtually NO hills at all, though the highways are crappy enough that there is a lot of slowing and accelerating on the highway.

I totally agree with you on your MPG I was getting around 52.9 on average highway and 44 city. But that was a month or so. I commute to school which has lots of upward hills and hence is the reason in reduction of mpg by -6 mpg

Wow! Your numbers are great! I achieve about 40.5 mpg (imp) on average with about 65% highway and 35% city driving (half of which is hilly) in summer. A/C on about half of the time. Can't match even your city driving fuel economy.

swng · 05-27-2006, 04:44 PM

Seems you have a reason to suspect foober. On the other hand, the meters are checked regularly, if I remember what I have read from elsewhere correctly. Too many factors influence our calulation results and that is why I suggest to record our numbers for the long term so that a more reliable average can be worked out.
I have not done well with my latest tank either. It yielded only about 37.3 mpg(imp) or roughly 31 mpg(US). That must have been one of my not-so-good tanks. There have been many short trips in the city and the A/C was on for a number of times.
Thanks for sharing your numbers.

Pumps must dispense the correct amount. They are all checked.

However different brands of gas can give different results. That is why it is good to find a gas that gives results you like and stick with it.

My first 2 fill ups, finally:

1st to make sure the tank was fill from the dealership: 19 miles, .688 gallons = 27.62 mpg.

2nd one today, 460.2 miles, 10.85 gallons = 42.41 mpg.

Total so far = 41.53 MPG.

That equals 5.66 l\100 km or 49.88 mpg Imp.

I didn't say that pumps won't dispense the "correct" amount. I'm saying that the sensors in the pumps in conjunction with how you use it (and environmental conditions) will vary how much is able to be dispensed. The self-calculation method hinges on the idea that you're getting a "full" fill-up every time. These variances can lead to miscalculations.

stuffy · 05-28-2006, 06:57 PM

yeah, you have to average over a number of tanks to get an accurate idea of your fuel consumption, this will factor in the varying driving styles and conditions as well.

swng · 05-29-2006, 04:41 PM

No, it is not a dream. With a Yaris, reasonably good fuel economy like that you have just posted is actually achievable and you have proved it. I feel so happy for you!
Cheers!

Why?

Sounds like your getting better than the posted sticker MPG on your Yaris,thats awesome! Do you drive a stick or automatic?

I'm actually picking up my Yaris tommorrow at Jim Barkley I can't wait :)

Thanks 4 your time,and happy Yaris Driveing!

I drive a manual. I am a very relaxed driver. I'm tempted to strip the back seats like others have done, but I haven't quite brought myself to do it yet.

markpeppie · 05-31-2006, 04:39 PM

car went to 500 km before i had to fill it up, cost me 39 $ at 110 , i'am amazed

Congratulations on the apparently good numbers! Hope better and better results keep on coming to you. Here is a site you can use to calculate the mpg numbers of your new car. Enjoy:

Nice! Just added it to my list of favorite sites.

bigbull · 06-01-2006, 08:26 AM

I have just filled up for the second time and have hit 1260 Km, I got the car with 19 km on it. Considering I cam from a 1989 Jeep Cherokee that had a 60 L tank thai I filled up 1.5 times a week I am in heaven! So far these numbers seem to compare to what everyone else is getting.
