I am getting between 40 and 41.5 mpg, if the cars computer is accurate in what is mostly rural and highway driving with my manual transmission. There is a noticable drop if I go over 60.

32.9mpg today. Have 1125 miles on her now...
Finally, my MPGs are strating to get better. Hopefully after my first oil and filter change at 1,500, it will start getting near 40MPG highway! |

There is no reason why you can't achieve at least 40 MPG highway. 90% of my driving is highway and I am getting 44 MPG. Its a standard shift, and I run 40 PSI in the tires, and synthetic 5W20 dealer installed Quaker State oil. I also have 11K miles on it.

Also, I am on the break-in oil until 1,500miles. Then, I will switch to synthetic. We'll see if it brings a change. I also don't shift beyond 5k RPM. I don't exactly flog my car...I think it's all the damned ethanol. Plus I do 60/40 city/highway driving as well. |

the city driving kills the gas mileage. But getting better gas mileage is about practicing softer driving. Softer on the gas, softer on the brakes, softer on the wallet.
Hey that sounds pretty cool.

2012 Yaris SE 5-speed
After 1400 miles, I find that I am averaging between 37-38 mpg in my 1.5L 2012 Yaris SE with manual transmission. I get less (35-36.5 mpg) on the highway at 70 mph/3000 rpm. However, in my daily 20 mile round trip commute and around town driving in semi-rural Massachusetts at 30-50 mph, I get 38-42 mpg. This is all about double what I got in my 2005 GMC Canyon that the Yaris replaces. I am not doing anything to "hyper-mile" drive or tune the car, nor will I. I am very happy with this result.

I'm getting right on 38 mpg for an average, but I was getting 40+ in the 2002 Echo that this car replaced, in exactly the same driving. So that's a little disappointing, but this car is so much more fun to drive it's worth the extra pennies for gas. :)
I find that if I go over 65 anywhere, the mileage drops down noticeably, but the flip side is that if I just flog it for the whole tank, I still get 35, so there's only so much that a 1.5L engine can guzzle. Like others have mentioned, I am hoping that when the winter gas is gone (should be happening very soon in my area) it will bounce up to about 40 like my old car. My driving is about 2/3 highway, 1/3 suburban, with just a little stop-and-go commuting sprinkled in. |

Winter gas is only supposed to be in use from 9/15 to 4/15 according to EPA documents. So our mileage should be going up in a week or so.

Me too. Right now my average MPG on the dash is reading 41.5, which means it's probably doing about 40.5 mpg right now, with 2/3 of the current tank gone. So that's better... :-)

Yesterday I drove about 40 miles: 30 percent country roads at 55 and 70 percent on 4 lane highway at just under 60. Before I left home I reset my factory fuel gauge. I drove with an extremely light foot. I was pleasantly astounded when I checked my MPG gauge just before I exited the highway to discover that it had recorded 46 MPG.

Regarding the 40 PSI the 2012 15" tires have a maximum cold inflation capacity of 44 PSI, so 40 PSI wont hurt anything.

Also note Toyota uses different tire manufacturers for some reason. There were at least 3 different stock tires on 06 to 11 Yaris, wouldn't be surprised if that was still the same. They all have different recommendations and abilities.
