Just bought a used 2007 Yaris and I am impressed with the MPG
First post on the site.
I just bought a used 2007 yaris sedan base with the Automatic tranny 1.5L. Got it for $5000 with 94k miles. I decided to do a highway mpg test yesterday and determined it was approximately 47 mpg on the highway. I was able to determine that by looking at the top bar, which went down when I finally reached 68 miles on the trip meter. Formula used: Sets: 68 miles (M) / 8 fuel bars (B) / 11.4 tank capacity (TC) 68(M) * 8(B) = 544 mi <--- average per tank 544 mi / 11(TC) = 47.71929824561404 Rounded to 47.7 MPG. Perhaps my math is flawed, idk. However, I believe it to be pretty accurate. This car gets much better gas mileage than my 2013 Hyundai Accent does anyway, so, that's already sufficient for me. I am going to let it get down to 1 bar to see approx how many miles it gets on a whole tank. Driving habits: Max speed is pretty much 65 mph. Almost all of the miles I drive are interstate or at hwy speeds. I live in the country and very little of the way home is below 60 mph speed limit. I also never slam on the brakes or brake hard. I always allow friction to slow me down and then use the brakes to ease into either a full stop or traffic slow down. |
