Yaris Sedan gets better mileage than Yaris Hatchback - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yaris sedans are capable of going 400,000+ miles without repairs, while Yaris Hatchbacks are lucky to go 50,000 miles without repairs

Oh yeah, there's no reason to seriously believe one gets better mileage than the other.

Don't know whats better, But I only have put three tanks of gas in her so far.... A few lights to the highway but about 45 mph for about 10 miles, then 65 or better for the next 25 miles then back to a few lights and 35 or so average...... 1 st tank 39.9 (beating her a little to see what she can do)
then 43.9 then lastly 46.3 mpg... not the best, but not bad for a car that is brand spanky new, and I don't drive in a totally pleasant manner.. I like to merge quickly .. I know why no dirt on her yet to weigh her down....

YotaYaris · 11-17-2009, 01:04 AM

Best of 44mpg and worst of 39mpg(first tank) for me. Last 3 tanks have been 42mpg on the money, mixed driving, 60%highway 40%city.

It all depends on the driver, mods if any, altitude, different build days(even the same are cars are not =)

PEACE

Wow, you guys get real good mileage. My highest was only 41, and I only got that twice.

My highest was 38.18. That was obtained while making the trip to the Bear Mtn run this past weekend (2 hour trip each way for me, almost all highway, consistent speed level, fewer hills than daily commute).

I'm actually going to guesstimate that one was tested in mid-afternoon, the other at dawn or dusk.

Let me explain:

I recently took a trip from Sudbury to Ottawa (roughly 320 miles for you US folks.

) The first trip, I travelled with the engine hot (I had been rolling on the highway for about 50 miles already). I drove with the intent to be as efficient as possible (without getting killed or run over on hwy. 17), which means I was holding about 98kph (or 60mph) where-upon I reached the 417, on which I maintained the posted speed limit (100km/h, or roughly 62mph). I got to Ottawa, and proceeded to give the wheel to my female friend. Let's just say her driving is far from 'efficient', with lots of gas-and-go, as well as heavy speeding (I was tired, didn't really care). She did all the driving in Ottawa, we did lots of stop and go in downtown Ottawa the next day as well (on the same tank). Take into account that it was a very warm day travelling up.

I dropped her off at work the next day, and filled up right before leaving town (average: 40mpg

). I attempted maximum efficiency on my return trip (once again, sparing my life). The highway was particularly quiet, and I made my best efforts to maintain the speed limit (90kph, or 56mph), as well as avoid going into third gear (my hatch is an auto), climbing the hills. This was something that was impossible the day prior going up to Ottawa. My travels the next day consisted of smooth in-town Sudbury driving.

I only reached 38mpg on the way back home.

You're likely asking yourself how that's possible. It's actually pretty easy. On the way up, remember I noted it was warm? I noticed the temperature because I had just mounted my winter tires (since it snowed the week before in Sudbury), and it really was too warm to be driving on snow's, but I was too lazy to change them out before leaving. However, on the trip back, it was nightime most of the way, but more importantly, it was brutally cold.

My example, as well as many anecdotal others, have shown me that the Yaris platform is extremely sensitive to temperature variances, in terms of fuel efficiency.

I got my 5 speed sedan as a cash for clunckers deal. < 4300 miles, 40+ miles to date for all the gas. I got all of 44mpg on a road trip at 100 kph. That is 62 miles per hour. Did some slow speed driving that weekend, too. This Yaris has been near triple digit speeds. It can be done.

Yaris HB is taller than Sedan. Higher Headwinds for HB must be the reason, if everything else is same.

captainm27 · 12-19-2009, 07:27 PM

The reason the Sedan gets better gas mileage is because the sedan is 'teh best'

YarisSedan · 12-19-2009, 08:12 PM

Its obviouse the sedan is better than the LB in more ways than one =)

Not true, they both have the same COD of .29

Probably its because the hb owners are more aggressive performance drivers.

i supose thats a possibility too. People tend to buy a 4 door for family reasons verses a 2 door.

docB · 12-21-2009, 06:43 PM

When the family is not in the car, many things "go". I can drive as aggresively as any. Many more expensive cars get my tail lights.
