Fuel Economy Reports

[KentSzabo]

I see the 2nd generation discussion area has a Fuel Economy topic so I decided to add one for our third generation Yaris.

On two tankfuls I got 43.05 and 43.15 on a 2012 5 speed manual Yaris L.

This was using non-oxygenated fuel, as I live in the Colorado front range, but am in a county that does not require oxygenated fuel (extra ethanol).
Oxygenated fuel in use in the Denver metro area from October 15 to March 15 gives you about 10% poorer mileagethis is based on my experience on my 2000 Eldorado. .

You're getting great FE. Do you drive a lot of high way?

I drive about half city and half highway. I filled up today at 201 mi @ 6.8 gals = 29.55 MPG

My Brother filled up today for the first time, but he does a lot of city and local driving. He drove 176 mi and filled 6.9 gals to full. So 25.50 MPG.

We're from the chicago burbs. We have a lot of additives in our gas. I believe we have our winter blend already. I want to see how much MPG we over the progression of time, but I can't wait to see what we get in the summer time with the summer blend.

90% highway driving, but up and down mountains from 8800 ft to 5700 ft and back to 8800.

i used to get most tanks of 42+ with my manual 07 yaris, so i expect the new yaris, rated even higher at 30/38 should have no trouble being in the low to mid 40's on mostly highway/light suburban type driving.

. Well done .

can you guys verify how close the computer average mpg is to the actual mpg (miles driven divided by gallons used)?

thanks.

I knew some coasting was going on. Great work. More proof EPA numbers are just lab numbers. Real-world, 40MPG is easily doable with the 5-speed Yaris. One more checkbox checked in the little car's favor. If they were in my area in serious numbers already (and I could take advantage of the college grad $1000 rebate right now), I'd have picked one up already! I need no more convincing about this baby!

Read my mind. Inquiring minds want to know!

Coasting gives you poorer mileage, compared to just letting off the throttle. The computer shuts the fuel flow off when throttle is zero, whereas coasting makes it think you are idling, thus burning a small amount of fuel.

Duly noted.

It was about 1-2 MPG off for me and my brother. Its close enough for me. I'll do a reset next time I fill up before work. I'll go back after work and refill up and we'll get a closer estimate of accuracy.

it wont be a very accurate comparison unless its done on a full tank of use.

I have an 09 sedan 5spd and at nearly 100% hwy averaging near the speed limit (70mph) I got 458miles on just over 10.5gallons. That's roughly 43.6mpg. No coasting. Again, cruising at near the speed limit the whole way with absolutely no attempt at fuel efficiency.

That being said over 40mpg should be easily achieved

[DJYojimbo]

Filled up today got 30.8 mpg for 327 miles. Not bad at all in fact i'm extremely happy! I had a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder that would've been 147 miles and for more money! My driving is a huge combination of city driving and highway driving. Chicago driving is a bisnitch! Haha!

[mr9865]

filled up today for the first time. 37mpg with a stick

[DJYojimbo]

Hey Mr9865 i'm assuming ur doing a lot of highway or is it like 60/40 highway local driving? Congrats on the white Yaris L btw!

It's actually silver.

I only have a little over 880km on mine but its averaging 6.2litres/100kms at this time. I.m sure it will get better after she breaks in.

First tank: 383miles total. 10.22 gallons to fill it. = 37.47 mpg. Computer/dash reported 33.8 mpg. I have a 5 door SE.
