How to improve my fuel economy? - Toyota Yaris Forums

The absolute worst mileage I can manage is in the winter (-30c) with shitty winter gas (plus 10% ethanol) and lots of snow to slog through, holds the car back like sand, add the inevitable too much idling (to keep from freezing) combined with stop and go traffic and short commutes can get me down around 350 -400 km per tank, that is brutal. :(
I have the bigger engine that should get crappier mileage though (4 cylinder 1.5 liter) so I think unless you are towing a trailer that something is wrong.
