 You can't calculate each individual bar the same amount. The physical properties of the plunger is the reason for the different mileage points. Usually the first bar will be the largest... the tank can be topped and the plunger is at its highest level. I got 90 mi on my first drop. During my third into fourth bar drop I got 90 mi reading too. I was travelling to my destination on my trip at this time. On my sixth to seventh bar drop I was travelling home... the reason for the 70 mi reading. The fifth bar drop was highway driving visiting friend after I reached my destination while on Thanksgiving vacation break.  Cheers!

I hear ya! Still, the fact that you can get over 50 MPG on a single tank is quite remarkeable! Kudos to you!
Hopefully I'll be able to break to 50mpg barrier one of these days! I've been doing alot of reading in the fuel economy thread and have been applying many of the techniques I learnt on my daily commutes to and from work (about 50km daily) and the most I've accomplished to date is a mere 37mpg....How do you do it??? Does your Yaris run on water?? LOL!

I'm not your 'normal' driver. I drive extremely gentle on the accelerator and mostly highway miles. It helps that my driving hours are when the roads are empty. I can drive at my own pace. Also, non-ethanol gas for now... helps in MPG.
Fuel Efficiency and the Yaris: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5979 Using DFCO to increase your MPG: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4248 These are two (2) excellent Stickies! IF you follow the hypermiling techniques in these stickies you will definately get the miles...  Cheers!

Maybe America pulled a fast one on all of us and decided to go the easier measurement way... metric ;-)  Canada winter... ouch! Warmer in this latitude. Nope... These are US Gallon/Mile log figures... Really Cheers!

It would've been great if all bars dropped at the same mileage.
