My right foot is very heavy, it doesn''t has to be hard to get 47 MPG with my car :)

Diesel versions enjoy really good fuel economy!

Well, I'm very excited here, since break-in period is behind ( I've gotten 1600 miles on the odometer), my mpg increased remarkably since I had passed 1000 miles. I'm getting 36.9 mpg, and it's entirely city driving. Awesome! I just can't get enough of my Yaris. Next week I'm planning a big trip to Michigan, which will be mostly highway driving, so we'll see what it will look like....

Feel excited for you and looking forward to seeing your report!

That makes me even more excited about this car. I havn't pushed it at all on my first full tank and I pulled down almost 43MPG

i dont get it im not getting the gas mileage as advertised on this car .. in canada 5.5liter-6.9liter per 100 km.. this car got 7000 kms on it and im still doing about 7-7.1l/100. 30% city 70% hwy. no a/c, perfect shifting around 2700rpm down shifting @ 2000 rpm.. running about 110-120 km /hr on hwy..I just dont get it..

1st bar = 110-120
2nd bar= 190-200
3rd bar = 255-275 this bar runs me the least fuel
4th bar= 325-345
5th bar= 400-420
6th bar= 480-495
7th bar= 540-570
last bar= average gas fill up from 38.5-41.5 liters

swidd · 08-13-2007, 02:08 PM

How about trying to keep the RPM below 2000 all the time? That's what I used to do driving manual...

Those are low numbers. Our car is an auto and I sometimes get over 140 on the first bar. The auto shifts really conservatively, I accelerate slowly and the rpm rarely goes over 2500 rpm. Our car will pass 3000 km's this afternoon, so I think our car still is getting broken in as well.

I'm not paying close attention to it, but I'm guessing that when accelerating our car shifts at 2500 and shifts at 1500 when decelerating.

We haven't gone over 5.6 l/100km consumption yet with about 85% hwy driving.

I do not go over 100 km/h and use the a/c close to 50% of the time.

Do you realise that 30 mpg is about double what all the others get?
When people ask what kind of mileage I get, I say to date the best was 38.8883 and for me to get 30 mpg it has to be a bad bad day ,"air on, Me driving faster then my (normal 75) about 85 mph instead.
I use royal purple full synthetic oil, not the "dino made synthetic"
So with the low cost of the car and me being able to run the air anytime I want, and if I am running abit late and need to drive a bit faster with the air on and still get over 30mpg....I am happy as a clam "without feeling guilty".
So I have come to the conclusion if I want better mpg I will need to import the front clip from a D-4D and fit it to my girl.. Thanks for letting me rant.
Peace Bill

I watched the shifting on the auto much closer the past couple days and have noticed when accelerating the transmission shifts before 2000 rpm and when decelerating it shifts closer to 1500, so I'd try shifting a lot earlier than you are now.

Be careful...shifting too early can also burn decrease MPG...there is a sweet spot...someplace between shifting late and shifting early...one must not assume that keeping the RPM's down and shifting early will always increase MPG.

The world was out to kill my FE on this tank.

1) I drove with my damaged door for 10 days, which hurt the aerodynamics.

2) The body shop drove the car hard.

3) The wife used the a/c twice.

4) I had several slow trips over the mountain due to the entirety of the highway being re-paved in sections.

The end result was 47.562 MPG, which was my worst tank in a few months.

MarkBen · 08-14-2007, 01:55 PM

I'd love to hit 40+ MPG, but I just don't think its going to happen. I've changed my driving habits a good bit, and after the first 1000 miles, I've gotten averages of 37.2 mpg and 34.5 mpg. The first 3 tanks were not so great 27, 29, and 31 (ish). Still, I am very very happy with mid to high 30's. I think my best tank with my Hyundai Santa Fe was 19.5 MPG. Its nice to fill up less frequently and with a much smaller tank.

petesimac · 08-14-2007, 03:36 PM

Is this mostly city driving? If so, you're doing great. Try a hwy trip, go the speed limit or less, and I guarantee you'll get over 40 mpg.

Depends on the speed limit!!!!! Hard to get 40 mpg at 75 mph...is all of the east coast still 55?

I do roughly 70% highway miles at 55-65 mph, but its only 8 highway miles to and from work.

Most of the east coast is 65... in MD anyways. There are stretches that are 55. And I believe W. Virginia and down is mostly 70 mph ( Interstate 95 that is..)

adamschneider · 08-14-2007, 08:16 PM

Last week I had a tank that was almost exclusively highway driving: 41.4 MPG.

The route was Portland to Bend (and beyond), then back the next day (although I fueled up in Salem on my way back). 380 miles at 55-70 MPH the whole way; I barely touched my brake pedal. I got up as high as 5500' elevation, but for every hill I climbed up, of course I got to coast down the other side; the trip began and ended near sea level.
