My First Tank = 43 MPG (!)
@ 368 miles, I had 3 bars of gas left... I took it all the way to 429 (and then circled the parking lot near the gas station to get it a nice even 430)... Put in 9.96 gallons of gas to the first click. - 2011 Yaris - 5 Door 5 Speed - Winter Package - Power Package - 65 mph MAX - neutral to all stop lights, stop lights, up ramps, down ramps - shift @ 2800 RPMs - windows down, AC on the highway (on low only) - no drafting (not worth the risk safetywise and paint chips) |

dude that is awesome. I would say that you may want to leave it in gear to take advantage of DFCO but other than that you are doing good.
I am hoping to do better. been a while since I had a stick and really like the feel of around 4k rpms so maybe if I give that a rest I can do better. first two tanks yielded me 41.5 so far. I still can't complain. |

actually it does, depending on the distance. DFCO sucks speed down rather quick, while neutral tends to allow the car to coast a lot further.
In general driving neutral will do better than DFCO unless you are driving down the side of a mountain every day.
