Can you all please give more info on your mileage (instaed of just posting the actual numbers), like where you are driving, if its long trips or not, highway or city? etc...

I got 28 mpg on my last fillup. Im in NY - ethanol blend state, most of my trips are between 5 and 15 minutes long and i drive about 15% highway (though not for long periods). The 28 is an improvement from the 25-26 ive been getting on earlier tanks. I think my tank is getting broken in (about 1700 miles thus far).

Im only seeing around 29-32mpg average. Thats a lot of street(city) driving.
Any highway driving, seriously, I do 70-90 average. No I do NOT obey any speed limit, ever.

My last tank I got 27.8mpg!!!!!! OMG!!!!!

Differences in my car then yours? Almost always have a passenger, have a 100+pound box with 2 12"s sitting in the back. Amp, cap, school books, inverter... always blasting music..... and always rev'ing high. Oh and sitting on some 17's.

Maybe this is all why I dont see the 34-36mpg I use to get when I first got my car? Oh well, better then the 15-20mpg my last car use to get(without AC/any music and stuff)

Just got back from Montreal. Like 90% Highway (120+) 10% Cities.

A record for me! 6.81415 L/100Km. Or 41.4737 MPG!

Now if only I can get that kinda result in the city.....

easy solution. stop driving fast. dont rev high. it aint a race car.
no reason why you cant be getting high 30's easily.

im getting about 41mpg.
tires: 42psi
highway speeds: 55-60mph
city: always coasting in N when i can... plan ahead for stoplights so i dont have to stop. easy starts. no high revs... keep in higher gear.

55 - 60 mph on the Freeway?
Here in california that would get you killed...
Partly because the posted limit is 65 and partly because the average flow speed is 70 - 75mph. Traveling at 55 or 60 on the highway around here, in this little car, would make you into a speed bump for some SUV.

for some reason, as im scrolling down the page, i always stop to read your posts..... hmm... must be some subconcious thing or something....

Average drive speeds/mpg are:
city - 40/45mph -------- about 36mpg
highway - 65-75mph ----------- about 38-40mpg
thruway (toll roads) 75-85mph ----- 35-37mpg

TDS12 - I thought I was the only one... Gives new meaning to the word "Post"...

I was averaging between 6.1 to 6.6 l/100km per tank.
I just got 5.6 l/100km from my last tank by coasting, not rushing up to red lights and just basically going easy on the car.
70% rural 30% city, lots of hills, 50km commute.
Next I'm going to inflate the tires to around 40psi and I'm considering switching to synthetic oil.

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.

Im the same, getting on average 38,39,40 I guess thereabouts combined.

I suggest you take a visit to GasSavers.org if you want to improve your Yaris mpg. I like the useful information on their webpage.

Just filled up my car just a while ago down the street.

425 miles @9.6 gallons = 44.27 mpg <----- would have been higher if I wasn't speeding late for school one day and the other trying to get on time for interview.

thats my 2nd best in mileage. 3rd is 423 miles. The highest is 434 miles


price $2.33/gal
