Thanks Bredayaris for the additional information. Your fuel economical and yet fun to drive diesel Yaris is a very enviable car. Hope you enjoy your visits to this thread.
Safe/save

and happy motoring!

Just got back from a 2,000 mile trip. Two people plus about 200 lbs. of gear @ about 73 MPH and still averaged 40 MPG on the dot.

Lafiro · 09-22-2007, 10:49 PM

I dont get it, I have nothing in my car, keep gear changes between 1.7 and 2.7k on my automatic, and drive at max 70mph, but usually 55-60. And I dont get anything above 32MPG.

The most I ever got was 35-37mpg when I first got my car, and only maybe 1-3months later it went downhill. From there its been the same, 25-28mpg winter, and 28-32mpg summer.

I have done all services on the car, including changing spark plugs, switch to synthetic oil, and changed tranny oil.

How many miles do you have on the car? My engine didn't break in until about 27K miles. When I hit that my mileage went up.

Shroomster · 09-23-2007, 11:30 AM

still getting 29.5 mpg city in my 2001 civic 4-door hehe

I'm trying to keep up with you all...

Five ways to greenify your car:

Better fuel economy will come as a by-product. Just one more reason to try harder to save earth, and gas and money of course

I have been trying not to accel fast, and living in a packed place/close to the city, I have 99% of people who always speed. And this includes having to rev to 2000rpm minimum when allowing it to change gears because the guys behind will have a titty attack and almost hit my bumper.

As for driving the speed limit, it says 50mph, most people during the day do 60-65, and at night up to 70. So you see its hard for me just to even do 60mph at times. But even so, I tried my best and only got 32mpg. Mind you this is also after taking out two 12" sub's and changing back to stock rims/tires. I guess Im just unlucky with my car?

Also, I have now about 24,000 miles on the car.

2 things i can think of!!

1. check tire pressure! add about maybe 5 psi over stock.
2. and air filter may be the cause as well...

Canuck · 09-24-2007, 12:44 PM

Lafiro,

When we quote mpg, check the location of the poster. Canadian posters may be posting imp mpg. 40 imp mpg is about 33 us mpg.

Quoting L/100km or even kml is more accurate as the litre is standard.

Zinck · 09-24-2007, 07:01 PM

I find the most i have gotten with my tank is 640km, and my first bar on my tank gose away after 140 km, the second one drops at about only 80 to 90km

the most i can get on the 1st bar is 126km. i fill up on 570 with 38.5 liters.. with 3.5- 4 liters left over..

swng · 09-24-2007, 11:44 PM

At the earlier days of my Yaris, I sometimes filled the tank until it spilled and I have for once exceeded 180 km with the first bar. I believe that some member(s) has/have done even better. Now I just fill till the nozzle automatically stops and I get more or less what marcus gets as described in his above post.
There are lots of road works on my way recently. My fuel economy is bound to be adversely affected. I am not too optimistic about the result of the current tank.

Bredayaris · 09-25-2007, 04:50 PM

Here's a blurry shot wich i've made this morning with my phone.

If you can read it a little bit, my mileage dropped to 4.9 L/ 100km, almost 48 MPG. You have to keep in mind that i always drive just around 77 mph.
If i lower the speed to around 62 mph i'll get a much better mileage, it's oh so fun with my diesel

BailOut · 09-25-2007, 08:55 PM

I fueled up this morning with 10.436 gallons after 538.8 miles driven for 51.629 MPG US.

Goalie · 09-25-2007, 09:17 PM

Show off Brian. Nice job!!!!Wish we had a diesel here in the US. Nice little 3 cyl turbo like in the Smart Car would be sweeeeeeeeet

sjyaris · 09-25-2007, 09:53 PM

Hi, I am a new member to this forum. I found this thread very informative and resourceful. So, I thought I might as well share my fuel consumption numbers with all of you. Firstly, we have two Toyotas in our household, namely a 2007 Yaris LE (5dr)(auto) and a 2002 Corolla CE (auto). The average number for the Yaris is 6.54L/100km (15.3km/L). The average for the Corolla is 6.83L/100km(14.6km/L). The numbers represent purely highway driving (~95%) of 37km(one-way to work). I am a bit concerned considering that Yaris is a lighter car (1050kg) compared to the Corolla (1200kg). I usually drive at around 110-120km/h on highway 401. I will keep you updated with my future consumption numbers for the Yaris. Hope this was a useful piece of data.

BailOut · 09-26-2007, 09:45 AM

You can't go by the bars, voodoo22. They are not linear nor static. The only measurement you can count on is at the pump (dividing your distance traveled by the amount of fuel you fill with).

Even then your best bet for measurement consistency will be to always fill up at the same time of day (i.e. on the way to work in the morning), at the same station and at the same pump.

Lafiro · 09-26-2007, 05:27 PM

I get the same thing.

This tank si strange cause I did not follow the rules of accelorating slow and not driving at the speed limit, but somehow, the half-way point on the indicated didnt lose that bar until 242miles!!!! Which is a record for me!!

But watch it start blinking when I hit 310miles or so :( I dont get how I lose 3 bars in 60-70miles, but lose the first four after 200-240miles.
