Just filled up my new Yaris for the first time and got 36.8 MPG, which I guess is well within the expected range. It was a mix of highway and city driving -- mostly highway, although that included a trip over the Coast Range and back.

No, your result is not within the expected range, because you are doing a little too well. If you don't believe, see this: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/calcu...umn=1&id=22749

Well, the "range" I was talking about was people's real-world experiences -- not the bizarre EPA estimates.

lol just filled up my car today for the first time and right before I filled up I was at 335 miles which brings me to around 30+ mpg...

I was sweating in my car once I saw the last gas bar blinking trying to look for a chevron.

marcus · 06-20-2007, 12:03 PM

dont swweat it.. last bar should run you from 50km to 80 km max.....depends on your driving habit.

Yesterday I experienced the flashing single bar for the first time. I finally filled up about 10 miles after it started flashing, and I put almost exactly 10 gallons in. So I guess that means it starts flashing when you've got about 1.3 gallons left?

marcus · 06-20-2007, 01:04 PM

yah i drive for 2 days with the last bar blinkin!

Shroomster · 06-22-2007, 07:26 PM

filled up today and my wife got 29.44 mpg

Disturb3dMind3d · 06-22-2007, 07:31 PM

First tank? and what are her driving conditions? ac on all the time? current mileage of car?

flighttekchris · 06-22-2007, 07:47 PM

we have about 4500 miles on ours, run the A/C all the time:(. we always get about 35 MPG around town, but it far better then our Dodge Caravan that gets about 20 MPG on a good day

foober · 06-22-2007, 08:45 PM

I'm getting some really good gas milage lately. Over 40 miles to the gallon. I've been using this Lucas gas treatment stuff for 2 months and its either that or my car is breaking in really well at over 8,000 miles.

I've always had at about 38 miles to the gallon since I bought my car 1.3 years ago. But I've noticed the gas milage has gotten better lately. Supposedly summer driving you get better gas milage.

tapuleo · 06-22-2007, 09:51 PM

I'm so happy to have just gotten 36.8, all in-town driving. Woohoo! My last car, an '04 Honda Accord V6 6-speed manual could only get about 26 if I drove it like a grandma. But, that thing is a freakin' rocket (260hp) compared to my Yaris, but hey, I'd rather get the gas mileage.

I can't wait to get 'er on the highway for a full tank and see how good I can get.

uncleyaris · 06-22-2007, 11:01 PM

last tank 49.6 mpg, i gotta crack the 50mpg. I'm looking good to do so this tank. Gonna be using the air soon cause the forcast calls for hot/humid next week. I fill up tommorow and let ya's know!!

tapuleo · 06-22-2007, 11:26 PM

Holy crap! Were you coasting downhill the entire way?

Shroomster · 06-23-2007, 12:18 AM

we live in orlando, there is literally a traffic light every block and 3 out of 5 are red. constant stop and go, and its mostly flat, and yes she uses a/c. 29.44 is good for driving in this city. hell my civic (2001 sedan) gets 28 mpg consistently.

BailOut · 06-23-2007, 01:23 PM

560.2 miles on 11.044 gallons = 50.724 MPG.

Black Yaris · 06-23-2007, 01:38 PM

you do realize it is bad for your fuel pump to drive with les than a 1/4 of a tank... the fuel actually keeps your pump cool excpecially in the hot summer months it will over heat the fuel pump reducing the life of the pump.
