Yaris great gas mileage !

I'm not sure what may be different. I do think that the route that I drive works out great, mostly mild hills (though that one hill either adds or subtracts 4-6 mpg to my current average).
I almost always fill up at the Shell station, with 87 octane, states "up to 10% ethanol. Only a few weeks ago 53 mpg was my best trip average, now I usually get that on the up hill route.
If I get on the interstate it goes down quite a bit, however I had four in the car on a trip down to Tracy City to go hiking and drove 70 on the interstate, had the AC on, and did not use an P&G, or other tactics that would annoy my passengers, and averaged 43 mpg for the day. I got 47 mpg for that tank of fuel, half of it for that trip, and the other half doing my normal commute.
Best tank so far is 51 mpg.
I think it helps that my commute is North/South. The winds seldom effect me much.

Does having the factory feature that gives you current MPG (plus having a Scan Gauge) cancel out any potential error from 'filling until it clicks' (and that would be a question to anyone who reads this as well) My Gen 2 Yaris doesn't have the MPG, etc features the the 3rd Gen (or at least the 2013) does. I also don't have a Scan Gauge. However, I fill past the click until I can barely see gas (the same point every time), so I know my 'gauging' is consistent. For those 3rd Gen owners who 'stop at the click', is a combination of the Factory MPG, etc. features and having a Scan Gauge give you the same consistency. How close do the Scan Gauge and factory readings have to be for you to feel you have zeroed in on an accurate reading?

I just read more of your 'Can't seem to break the 60 MPG barrier thread' After reading your post #20 on that thread, I'm assuming the answer to my question above would be yes...that the information from your various sources is in sync and you ARE getting figures that are as reliable as my 'old school/low tech method'.
