Fuel Efficiency and the Yaris

[why?]

Honestly, you aren't driving far enough to get really great gas mileage. And I lived in Poinciana for a few years, florida drivers are not that bad. They can go around you just as well as any other driver.

But the a/c hurts gas mileage, your speed will kill gas mileage, some run much more tire pressure.

I average a little above 39 mpg, as calculated on fuelly.



Some tips? Use the gas pedal like it is a nuclear bomb that will destroy the world. Look ahead and plan to cruise to a stop so you never have to hit the brakes.

If you have to use a/c, and down in Orlando I can't blame you, turn it off and on so it won't suck up as much gas. If you are on interior air re circulation you can go a few minutes with the a/c off. Also buy and apply the darkest tint you possibly can, legally.

I go as slow as I possibly can. I usually do not exceed 50. On highways I go at maximum 5 miles below the speed limit. I try to stay near 50 if at all possible.

I generally do not drive long trips, but commuting 50+ miles 1 way makes getting great gas mileage really easy, my best tank of gas was 47 mpg when I had to drive over an hour each way every day for two weeks.

are you guys looking at instant mpg, looking at your scan gauge, or are you calculating your per tank mpg?
Somehow skewing the numbers?

38 psi in the tires
a/c on most of the time
I drive on average 25 miles one way to work
70-80mph
I only see 32-33 mpg per tank
Average 326 miles on 10 gallons
I fill the tank completely every time
