Poor MPG tried everything - need advice - Toyota Yaris Forums

Maritime · 02-06-2019, 10:06 AM

I haven't checked my mileage lately as the wife has been driving the Yaris, my leg needed healing and pushing the clutch was bothering it. I get about 550 km (330 M) on mostly highway, but the limit here is 110 KPH (75 MPH) and we tend to all drive 120-130KPH(80-85 MPH) and the way the 5 speed is geared it eats more gas. I can get 600 KM(360 M) at 90-100KPH- 55-60MPH steady when I commute the back way to work and that works out to 35-36 MPG US Gal. but more likely get 28-30 MPG when highway because it revs at 3500-4000 RPM at speed because of the gearing. I also have 358K KM 208K M on the engine. Oh and also this time of year with winter rubber and winter gas it drops closer to the 26-28 MPG.
