All your Yaris still care of MPG?

[jamal1984]

I don't hardly lately, since the gas price are drops dramatically. I drive hard, speeding alot, and you know what i feel good about it.
And last time i got 33mpg instead of around 40mpg+.
But still the weather got cold now, love the winter time. Hope there is snow this year in GA.
Well anyway i hope the gas is not going back up at 5 dollars a gallon again, or else i feel very old in my yaris.

A full tank only lasts you a week?

Personally, I feel that gas prices should have stayed up so that more of the gas guzzlers and gas wasters would stop driving.

yeah, i drove around 300 miles or more a week. I take it everywhere and not even worry about gas.

A tank only last me a week also. I have a 40 mile commute to work so there and back for 5 days is 400 miles. Then a little bit of running around on the weekend. I got my 08 in mid August and it already has 6000 miles on it which includes it being in the body shop for 2 weeks from Hurricane damage.

Doesn't bother me none. Still don't have to hit the gas station for 3 to 4 weeks at a time. No worries. Still tempting to speed though

[TinyGiant]

im not driving at 50mph Max now.. going about 60 at times.. still getting 35 mpg.. down from 38mpg :)

not shutting the car off at lights either too.. i think its a waste of starts lol

but yeha i still keep a log every fill up )

[tetzyamis]

I've never tried to get better MPG.
But Yaris gives me good one :)

[rningonfumes]

Most definitely. Money saved on gas is money which can be spent elsewhere.

I drive a lot, around 450-490 miles every week so mpg matters. I drive till empty and fill up to full. 47-49mpgs-- average of 48mpgs over the weeks.

I've even tried incorporating the use of my bicycle--every bit counts.

SORRY, but I don't believe you are getting 48 mpg. It is not possible unless you are going down a mountain, drafting a 18wheeler.

LOL...Thanks Trail.

I am in no way bragging.

Snakz... first time out of the dealer, I got 45 mpgs. When I got the car I figured it was an econobox, I should drive it like one. I didn't expect it to get that high right out of the box. Getting 45 mpgs encouraged me to look up how to improve the number.

I urge you to try just 3 things:

1. Drive at speed limit (most important factor)
2. No redlight racing.
3. Smooth starts and lots of coasting.

(if you want more, look up the stickies in the "Fuel Economy Section")

Try it for 1 month.

There are many many members here, on Cleanmpg.com and gassavers.org who will look at the 3 items and will whole heartedly agree that they work.

At one point my mission was to break the 50mpg barrier, took some extra work and I finally did it early summer. Even having hit 50 mpgs, I'm not at the top. It amazes me that others are up there, I'm proud that a member here with an Hatchback Auto-tranny has beat 50 mpgs for about 4 straight tanks? Then there is Bailout...

I'm happy with my average... don't want to keep working for 50mpgs.

If I could only drive down an endless mountain..I wouldn't need an 18wheeler and get infinite mileage (granted till friction wears everything down). If you read up just one of Bailout's(member here) post, you'll know how I could achieve infinite mileage in this particular circumstance- Hypermiler's wet dream.

You've heard of hyper-miling right?

I can attest that you can, and many others see numbers higher than me. I usually get 45 in the city going to USF in Tampa (busy). I have an AT, which means you would see higher in a manual. Oh, check out CleanMPG, and put down the AAA articles about hypermiling... wildly inaccurate.

[jamal1984]

hum, i see alot of sedan including myself are getting a little bit better mpg over liftback.

[IsLNdbOi]

I've been getting almost 49mpg on my last couple of tanks. Has to be the hyper-miling techniques I've been using.

I think alot of the other LB drivers have lead feet.
