47.01mpg last tank

caper26 · 04-19-2011, 02:30 AM

2010, brand new. 6.062L - 77.1 km (from dealership to home and some errands)...filled up due to unexpected road trip...drove 511 km on 29.159 L in NS, Canada. Heres the details:....very hilly total trip. Left home just after 1 pm. 1st 30 mins or so in traffic, 80 zone, speed between 60-80 km/hr and made a stop (too much coffee). Got on highway (100-110 km.hr), tried to keep tac ~ 3K rpm in 5th (manual). about 1/2 hr later, entered 80 km/hr zone for 45 mins, but was doing 100-110. Got back on twin highway (110 km/hr zone) and tried to keep it at about 128-ish as much as possible. After 15-20 mins, made quick stop hoping for food....too many people at counter, so got back on road. Entered single lane a ways later: back to 120 when possible...not much traffic. Some time after this, hit some reduced speeds 60 (did 70-80)....back to 100 (did 120-130), then little later, 50; then 100km/hr at 5:02. 5:18 down to 50 through town, back to 80 rest of trip until 6:30. Tried to keep speeds about 20-30 above speed limit in these areas.
During the whole trip, I accelerated slowly and geared down when possible. I made few "agressive passes" when I had to WOT in 4th. Arrived as gas stop at 6:30. (5.5 hrs total)
When I crunch the numbers, I get 5.702 L per 100km, which is pretty much exactly the published spec by toyota. What mpg are you guys using? imp or US? Imperial I calc around 49.5-ish mpg. From what I read, this is not bad with a brand new car, going these speeds, on very hilly terrain, with 3 stops. It cost me total $39.39 CAD (511 kms @ $1.35.1) Used to cost me 30-something for first 2 hrs alone, in my Xterra...loving my ride

Hey,

I have a quick question. I filled up my tank in my 2007 Yaris sedan and can only get around 450 kms out of it. I drive normally, no racing or anything, but i do a lot of highway driving. approx 40 kms a day to and from work. Am i doing something wrong?

Also, i noticed that when i got 100 km/hr on the highway i'm reving at 3000 rpms. Isn't that a little high? i've been in V8 cars that idle at around 1500 - 2000 rpms. Is this something i should have inspected or is it normal?

caper26 · 04-19-2011, 04:30 PM

auto or manual? My 2010 5 spd revs at 3000 rpm going ~117 km/hr in 5th, and I got 511 kms with 3 bars left on gas guage, various speed highways (see above).

EDIT: Made a typo on this post. Fixed it now.

Nahtorious · 04-20-2011, 09:26 AM

It's an automatic. i get about 100kms per 2 bars.

malibuguy · 04-20-2011, 07:20 PM

the bars "wear" of at different rates, the 3rd to last bar for me goes typically over 100miles

Nahtorious · 04-20-2011, 11:43 PM

Ok cool, i just filled my tank up to the max, and i'm gonna be driving like an old granny for a while to see if it makes any dramatic difference. SPEED LIMIT! HERE I COME! lol.

Well, I am in Canada, so this is not easy to use for me unfortunately, since I have to use a few conversion calculators to even enter my data... Are there any sites which use liters and kilometers??

Not bad man, how'd you pull that one off? I just started driving easy and my second bar just vanished at 266kms. I got some more figuring out to do, but so far i'm happy with that.

266km on second bar???? you sure you got that right most i had 230 but 100% hwy going 90 km/hr average right now is about 180 for second bar 190 on summer.

TLyttle · 04-25-2011, 11:40 PM

Why on earth would you guys depend on any data from the fuel gauge? In particular, distance for the "first bar"?? The only thing that matters is how much actual mileage one gets from fillup to fillup! I got 640kms with 3 bars still showing on the gauge, then it ran out of gas; time to change fuel gauge, not brag about getting all those kms on 3/4 of a tank. Think it out...

Yeah, now that i look at what i wrote, i probably took that information down wrong. lol. my mistake. But up to date... right now i'm at 460kms with 3 bars left.... the 3rd last bar should be disappearing soon, probably in another 10-20kms or so. I have a pic, but it's on my bb and i'm not sure how to upload it.

Nahtorious · 04-28-2011, 09:47 AM

On another note... i was wondering, if i drop a supercharger in my 07 yaris sedan, does anyone know how much that would hinder my gas milage?
