Don't worry! I enjoy seeing fellow members showing their good sense of humor.
Just hope no one gets carried away and goes off topic too far because the moderator can be watching

Got 27 MPG (US) again.

Reportedly, the Yaris has been ranked among the top most fuel efficient cars and awarded accordingly by the Fed at the recent Torronto Auto Show. Beneath is the link to the relevant video. If you are interested, click the link, wait a few seconds for the announcer/commercial to finish and the show to start, then move the seek button under the screen toward the end of the TV program (i.e. the 51th minute of the 58-minute show) to skip the lengthy materials irrelevant for this post and you will see the Yaris right there.

Interesting enough, the Honda Fit, reportedly, won a similar award on the same occasion in the Station Wagon Class.

121 mi trip run at about 55 to 60 for 60miles and 50 to 55 for 60 mi got 37.8mpg scan gauge.

highest reading i saw was 43.1 mpg on first 60 miles

nsmitchell · 02-19-2007, 02:07 PM

I've been too embarassed lately to post my MPG numbers. Well they have been around 27-29MPG. It is pretty cold in the mornings. I drive it nice and easy while the cool light is on. I stomp on is some after that. Still this sucks!

Man.... 200 kilometers to go down to half a tank, and I'm now at 250 and only have 2 bars left, and I've been driving in much the same manner... weird... I usually refuel at this point, but I'll wait for one bar this time.

i consider this number is not surprising as this has been my readings so far for 100% city driving...

Razr · 02-20-2007, 08:28 PM

When I drive: 12.24 KM/L, 8.17 L/100km, 28.76 MPG (US)
When the wife drives: 14.74 KM/L, 6.78 L/100km, 34.65 MPG (US)

Same basic driving circumstances (80% city, 20% highway), just a slightly different driving style :P

There's effectively no driving law enforcement here at all, and even if you did get clocked speeding it's a $10 fine ($5 if you pay at the "window") with no demerit point system. I'm just taking advantage of it all before they change their minds :)

Well, it has it's downsides too - the lack of any enforcement of any driving laws, and readily purchasable driving licenses breeds a different type of driver - one that has NFI! Driving here is more often than not survival vs. enjoyment LOL. Thus, I take every available oppty to enjoy driving :)

As for

, well apart from the two times a year they put on a DUI blitz (during the Christian and Thai new years), the rest of the time the only test you'll be put to is whether you make it home in one piece or not. Can make for an interesting mobile obstacle course at times..

Anyways, that's just the tip of the iceberg when looking at what constitutes driving fun in Thailand - I haven't even started on the busses and trucks that know no lanes, or the drivers that insist on driving up the shoulder the wrong way, or the motorcycles that have no idea you need more lane space, and that when you are travelling 80KM/hr faster than them they become terribly difficult not to kill.. etc, etc.. the list goes on :)

uncleyaris · 02-20-2007, 11:47 PM
