Fuel Economy - Toyota Yaris Forums

I agree about the low fuel thing, kinda experienced it myself (i think)

When I had upgrades done to the car, the guys at the workshop left the engine running most of the time, and it actually ran completely dry.

Once it was refueled, and the car back on the road, I found I had crappy mileage too, half a tank only lasted about 150km.

Then, a couple of days later, I was on the highway, pedal to the metal in 5th, when the air/fuel sensor meter I installed pegged the needle on very rich, and the warning buzzer went crazy for a little while. Then, the meter went back to normal, and so far, normal mileage seems to have returned.

I'll be sure to refuel before the gauge shows two bars from now on
