Good job, uncleyaris! Stay with it and you just may become only the second person ever to break 50 MPG with the Yaris.

1st tank 540km with 39.8l fill up = 38.34mi/gal with regular 87 octane
2nd tank ran 535km fill up 38.4l = 39.37mi/gal with premium 89 octane
3rd tank 540km 37.5l fill up=40.69mi/gal with premium 89 octane
4th tank 570km premium fill up @38.00 liters =42.40 m/gal -15km/liter 89 octane
5th tank went to regular gas..48.2 liters ran 711 km 40% hwy (had to add 10 liters in between), calculated about 6.7l /100km,,41.68m/gal ... i was expecting about 6.0 l/100,,,atleast...

I had a lot of extra city driving on this tank and several slow-as-molasses commutes over the mountain due to the construction and tourist seasons being in full swing, but I managed 518.6 miles on 10.362 gallons for 50.048 MPG.

Last tank covered 500.2 km. Refilled with 36.113 liters. That means 39.147 mpg (Imperial), or 32.58 mpg (US), or 7.219 liters per 100 km, or 13.85 km per liter. Most of the time, the car was driven by my brother with one passenger (sometimes two) and some golf clubs. Not many further details.

As of tomorrow I have had my Yaris for a whole week!

Filled it back up this morning; it took 9.489 gallons for 402.1 miles to give me 42.375 mpg. This week was about 75/25 hwy/city driving with a day or two running A/C. Not too shabby for completely stock and just under 1000 miles.

I'm sure that there is an oil owner somewhere hating on me

Just had a trip within city areas. I enjoyed surfing the green to save fuel.
This is not a new technique but I find it very practical and addictive. Usually, long before I approach the traffic lights, I estimate in mind how long the red/yellow/green lights are going to last. Then, I look around to know the traffic situation and adjust my speed (within high and low legal/common sense limits) so that I can drive past one green light after another. It's almost an art in addition to being an interesting game. I would name it my favorite fuel saving technique.
Among the many techniques, what is your favorite one to save fuel?

As I approach my subdivision I enter a FAS (Forced Auto Stop - coasting with the engine off) over a half mile out, then stay in the FAS as I turn 90 degrees right into the subdivision, immediately turn 90 degrees left, followed by an immediate 90 degrees right into my culdesac.

At this point I have the garage door remote in my hand and I stick it way up high, out of the window, to get a signal over the hoods of the many trucks my neighbor has out front.

I then continue coasting to the rear of the culdesac and 90 degrees right and up the driveway and into my garage.

In other words it's a quick-turning, half-mile stealth run from the main feeder road right into my garage.

swng · 06-19-2007, 06:43 PM

What a stunt! Too difficult for me but very interesting. Anyway, I also press my garage door remote button well in advance so that I can drive through without having to stop to wait for the door to open

!
Come-on ladies and gentlemen! What are your favorite fuel saving techniques?

marcus · 06-19-2007, 07:05 PM

Didn't robin Williams do the same thing with his kids in The World According to Garp? LOL!

I like to keep my momentum going around turns.

I'm liking the TRD suspension a lot, but I want more.

A good one

! I do the same as far as the traffic allows. I really like the fun element inside this technique.

Just filled up my new Yaris for the first time and got 36.8 MPG, which I guess is well within the expected range. It was a mix of highway and city driving -- mostly highway, although that included a trip over the Coast Range and back.

No, your result is not within the expected range, because you are doing a little too well. If you don't believe, see this: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/calcu...umn=1&id=22749
