I have an auto tranny and I drive 98.5 miles round trip on all open highway to work 4 times a week. Thats nearly 400 miles a week just going to work.
Its all country highway miles.
The yaris has 13k miles.
38lb of air in tires.
Driving 50 mph/5 under speed limit.
Coasting to stops in neutral with the engine cut off.
No a/c used.
No defroster used.
Mid grade fuel.
Air filter changed at 10k miles.
Oil changed every 3k miles by the dealer.
I feel like the car is running perfectly.
It may be true for others, all I'm saying is that I cannot get any more than 40 mpg.( Thats 5 mpg MORE than stated on the sticker). And I am sorry, I just don't believe that 45-50 is attainable with NO modifications to the car.
Don't get me wrong...I am VERY satisfied with 40 milking it and 36-37 normal driving.
Someone please show me that it IS possible.
