Fuel Economy - Toyota Yaris Forums

I got about 6,5l/100km (36MPG) with the last oil fill (5W40; nothing else was available), now I put in 5W30 (the manual recommends 0W20, but I'm driving at rather high highway speeds (140...170km/h) (not only but also to let the fuel contents in the oil evaporate) and I want to reduce the engine's wear)
I'm driving about 20km per day through town and 2*80km (50mi) highway about every second week.
It's 8...9l/100km on highway and ~6l/100km in town.
I'll report how the values develop ;)
