Fuel Economy - Toyota Yaris Forums

swng · 01-13-2006, 07:51 PM

People choose the Yaris for a variety of reasons. Many choose it for its fuel economy. This is an important area where the Yaris is believed to out perform its rivals. I think it is appropiate to start a thread for fuel economy here so that members can exchange information on this important topic. My car(see left) has been giving me about 14 kilometers per liter i.e.7.14 liters per 100km. That is about 39.5 miles per imperial gallon or 32.9 miles per US gallon. I believe my numbers are about average among fellow Yaris drivers. I look forward to seeing more postings on this subject.

1 km=0.62 mile
1 galon=3.78 liter

if my conversion is correct... then...

530km/39.33L x 0.62mi/km x 3.78L/g = 31.58 mpg
so that's the reading for american...

I have a 2006 auto and I am driving 50/50 city and highway, up hills and on the flats also 50/50, for 100km. to work and back. I find if I drive aggresively I will get 39 mpg. If I take it easy and keep the revs under 2500 at at all times the mpg goes up to 42. I expect that will improve as the car gets more kms. on it. Right now I have 1400kms. on it. Based on the goverment testing I was hoping for, at best, about 44 when the car was broken in. I am really pleased with my Yaris, its quiet on the highway, feels really stable, is peppy, is big inside and just looks well built with quality finishing.

second bar is about to go soon (i'm guessing).. i drove 150km with that. not bad!

hhcchen · 01-16-2006, 03:26 PM

sources have been saying 34/40 mpg...
but nothing official from toyota.com yet...

p2filz · 01-17-2006, 04:00 PM

wow i expected alot more if it is only that much mpg (32ish american mpg) ill start heading back to the xb... by the way what rpms are you revving when your at 80 mph

Freedom · 04-22-2006, 02:47 PM

Finally, I got my new car on Friday last week, but I didn't drive it too much. Till now I drove about 360kms, and the result is 17.14 km/litre, 48.45 mpg, 5.83 l/100 km. So I think this is

And hope, it will be even better after a few 100 kms.

Although I use it carefully, I tried to go a little bit faster, than allowed.

62mph-->3000rmp
80mph-->3800rmp (by the way, its a bit loudy at this speed, but not annoying, rather sporty)

hhcchen · 01-17-2006, 11:41 PM

i hope that's the unbroken in mpg...
anyone broken in there yaris yet...???
anyone with 1000+ mile/1600+ km yaris yet...???

as400g33k · 01-18-2006, 05:02 PM

i got about the same result as wushu on my first tank. i find that if i drive conservatively my fuel consumption is not that high. so i try to drive conservatively, plus its still in its break-in period. current odo reading is now 975kms nearing the 1,000km first service by toyota.

2,200 miles here. I bought it on November 6 with 8 miles on it.

My boyfriend and I drive my Yaris all the time rather than his 2006 Honda Civic coupe!

I already have 14,400 highway miles on my Yaris and I average 330-350 miles per fill up between 1/4 and empty flashing. I am guessing my mpg is at 35-36 miles.
FWIW, my Yaris is lowered, 295/40-17 tires, 5-speed tranny and I drive at speeds averaging 80 mph to keep up with NJ Turnpike traffic. This small car is high revving, nimble and stable but sensitive steering at high speeds compared to my 04 Camry.

How exactly are you stuffing a 295/40R17 tire under a Yaris?

swng · 01-18-2006, 05:41 PM

Interesting! My dealer has never mentioned to me that there should be a 1,000km service. May be we don't have that in Canada, so the next, or first, service due for my car should be at 8,000km. I am now on my 4th tank and the fuel efficiency I have this far achieved is not too different from those numbers that are posted at above by fellow members.

wushumasterku · 01-23-2006, 03:13 PM

my second tank still..

so far.. 380km and i got 3 full bars left... not good.. but not horrible as well.

i used to get 325km on 60L.. premium gas.. can you guess which vehicle it was?

Let me guess, if it uses premium gas, chances are it is a performance car. Can it be an Acura or a German car? Okay, okay, tell me what it is please.

no more guesses??
haha

well, it's got 60L tank plus reserves, so it's not compact performance like civic/celica/prelude or something like that..
