Yaris Color and MPG Statistics/Summary - Toyota Yaris Forums

I wonder if there's a correlation between colour and fuel consumption?

Cool stats, thanks for posting.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I bet there actually is; maybe something like "fuel consumption" ~ "personality" ~ "color choice" with the link being how personality effects driving habits/style.

Unfortunately, the two sets of data comes from a completely separate samples (from two separate threads). Thus, cannot get a direct correlation.

But, if we were to run another thread that will log the MPG AND ask them what color of their Yaris, we might be able to prove or disprove the proposed correlation.

If anyone is interested, just report:
1. L/B or Sedan
2. Color
3. distance travelled AND gallons or liter pumped.
4. Mother in law's age

If anyone is interested, just report:
1. Sedan
2. Pacific Blue
3. 8193 km and 436.214 litre's
4. Mother in law's age is 71, but she lives in Japan so I don't need to be too worried.

I bet there is a correlation between mother in laws age and FE, because I would guess that if your mother in law is older so are you, and you are therefore more likely to drive more responsibly. Let the number crunching begin!

1. Liftback
2. Meteorite Metallic
3. 375 Miles and 11 Gal
4. Mother in law's age: N/A. Guess single guys still get somewhat decent MPG

5. Number of windows in apartment: 10

I think this thread is dead. It's been so long since anyone added to it.

I'm up to about 40702 km's on 2092 litre's now and my mother in law is 72.
