Didn't use AC at high speeds on the last tank, it made a considerable difference.

Adjusted the tire pressure in the middle of the 2nd to last tank (they were a pinch low) and also adjusted my driving style on the last tank. For example, I now shift gears between 2,700-3,000 rpms instead of 3,000-3,300 rpms. It's also been cooler this week so I didn't have to use the AC as much.

Overall, I'm happy with the fuel economy. I'm anxious to see what the next 5 tanks will yield with my new driving stylee

Jem_hadar · 08-24-2006, 09:28 AM

Im just waiting to get down to my last bar and then wait abit before I can fuel up... and find out what my first offical mileage will be.

on my 2nd last bar. going to a friend cottage this weekend,t that'll use it up for sure.

and the good part, means till get to fill up in newmarket or richmond hill, where gas is usually like 5 cents cheper than anywhere else

If so, I would wait until something gets some positive comments of Consumer Reports before I buy. Meanwhile, it would be useful if anyone who has been using such devices post his/her fuel economy numbers here.

boxerboy · 07-02-2006, 03:41 PM

First tank was 9.85 gals. 375 miles. 60% highway,AC on. 5spd hatch.

swng · 07-03-2006, 12:31 AM

My last tank has yielded 588.8 km out of 41.067 liters. This translates to approximately :
14.338 km/liter, or
6.975 liters/100 km, or
40.519 miles/gallon (Imp), or
33.766 miles/gallon (US).
The time ratio between city and highway driving was about 40/60 and the AC was on more than half of the time. Tire pressure - 34 psi all around.
Not bad for an auto

DVS YARIS · 07-03-2006, 03:12 AM

last tank was on one flashing bar with 655 km so i havent been botherd calculating it but i am pretty happy with it :D
cheers curtis

Ryu · 07-04-2006, 10:19 PM

Another fill up for the automatic Yaris 332.1km using 21.843L
comes to 6.577L/100km

swng · 07-07-2006, 09:41 PM

First fuel gauge bar lasted 175 km. Not a record, but still good. The important thing is that the oil change in June appears to have helped a bit. I would be very tempted to try synthetic oil the next time. It costs about Cdn $30 more.

60 Somethings · 07-09-2006, 01:20 AM

Mileage report on new hatchback with 3,000 miles on it and initial oil change at 2,500 miles.

On last tank we drove 343 miles before refueling.

1/3 consisted of city driving and other 2/3 was a trip yesterday up to Timberline Lodge at Mt Hood. Pretty much all of it was with A/C on. The city driving was mostly with two adults in the car, and yesterday's trip was with three adults.

Vancouver, WA is approx 280' elevation. Went across to Portland and took Hwy 26 to Timberline Lodge turnoff at Gov't Camp (3,995'). The last 6 miles is a curvey road up to the Lodge at 6,000' (turned off the A/C for that part). Came down through Hood River Valley to city of Hood River, then back along Hwy 14 on the WA side of the gorge.

Stayed up with traffic all the way - just kept the revs up and it ran like a champ. Very smooth and A/C was great - it was a hot day.

Mileage came out at 34.7 MPG for the tank. Given the conditions we were very pleased.

Expect to get 38 MPG on drives to Seattle with the A/C on. We need to do that soon, and I will report the results.

Tankota · 07-09-2006, 05:26 PM

I'm getting about 34 average right now, at 1500 miles. 40% City, 40% highway, 20% L.A. Traffic.

And it's been so hot out where I am the AC has never been off since I got the car..

asa805 · 07-12-2006, 03:24 PM

seriously i dont get this stupid crap. I got 27 my frist fill up and just got 24 my second! What the F&*( is going on!!!

I had low tire pressure.... could that be the culprit. I do mainly city driving, probably 85/15 with most of my driving trips between 5-15 minutes long. I dont rev the engine while its cold, am careful over bumps, dont go over 70 (usually hover around 60 like an old fart (im 27!)), and really trying not to stop short if i can help it.

So seriously... how come i am getting 10mpg difference between other drivers doing similiar driving? Ok maybe im doing too many short trips but i figure i shoudl be getting at least 30!!!

sorry but im starting to think this car is just a peice of shit in a cute cars clothing :(

The mileage is going to suck during the break in period. Some people didn't start seeing great numbers until their first oil change. Those numbers do seem low tho'.

fnkngrv · 07-13-2006, 04:28 PM

Maybe you just happened to get a dud. The lowest I have had so far was 37 or 38 and that was with 60/40 split I would think....60 being HWY. I now have 3015 miles and I am going to be taking it in for the first change this weekend.

asa805 · 07-13-2006, 11:52 PM

can people please specify if they are driving man/auto and roughly how many miles are hwy or city?

Thanks ...

*just sitting here seething with jealousy* lol

*Chris07LB* · 07-14-2006, 06:36 AM

Im still getting over 400 out of my full tanks..

Auto slush box / Liftback / 98% highway driven miles.

swng · 07-14-2006, 11:04 PM

In the case of the Yaris, the difference in fuel economy between the stick and auto versions is not big. If interested in verifying this, please check it out on www.toyota.ca. Just go to the specificatons page for the Yaris.
Moreover, IMHO, because the auto version has a degree of autonomy, it tends to give out fuel economy numbers closer (than the stick version) to the average, whilst a stick shift will produce numbers that vary greatly, depending on the user's driving style.
At the risk of over simplifying, I would say that one can use the stick shift to ,deliberately or inadvertently, produce low mileage by always using low gears, laboring/lugging engine etc. On the other hand, an auto transmission will normally select the best gear for the situation, at least most of the time and hence produce results that are closer to the norm/average.
Having said that, I would still say that the stick version, if driven by a proficient driver driving with a thrifty style, should produce slightly better numbers than a similar car with an automatic transmission driven similarly.
Also, I do not imply in anyway that poor mileage must be a result of bad driving style. There are too many reasons which can lead to poor fuel economy.
