Reasonable MPG or not? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have around 13,000 miles on my Yaris, and am only now getting the kind of mileage that I expected when I first bought my car. I don't know why it's taken this long, but my best tank this summer was 38.36mpg and I haven't gotten below 37mpg this summer. I keep my tires inflated at around 40psi, keep my speed down as much as possible, and coast whenever possible. I'm betting your MPGs will go up as time progresses and as you become more comfortable with the car, particularly since you have a 5 speed. I'm getting my MPGs with an auto tranny....I can only imagine what I'd be getting now if I had a stick. My two big regrets in buying my Yaris---not buying a 5 speed manual and buying a black Yaris (hard to keep clean).....
Other than that, I'm happy.....
