Looking forward to the warmer weather.

Sounds reasonably good! Please keep posting your numbers

I have not gotten my Yaris yet, I get it next week! I just have a few questions:
1. How many km do you get to each bar (automatic 5dr.)? How many bars are there?
2. Is there a trip calculator in the car, I didn't notice it on my test drive?
3.I obviously don't know much about cars, but does gas mileage get better when you break it in? cause I thought it was the other way around...

It seems that my yaris (automatic) is not doing well regarding a fuel economy. I put a full tank today and it was 37.4 litres, and my odometre indicated only 444.8km driven. Most of driving for this tank was a city drive. But i think that the official number is 7.1 liter for 100km. I think that this is the third tank for my yaris excluding one from the dealer.

I wonder there is something wrong with my yaris.

Hi hirosho! Thanks for sharing your numbers, which work out to be about 33.55 mpg(imp), or around 8.4l/100km. Not very impressive for a Yaris! However, you said that it has mostly been city driving. We all know that city driving is bad for fuel economy, and of course city driving during busy hours hurts the most. I guess you must have driven a lot in stop and go traffic. Still, I think it is right for you to be concerned. Has your car been due for service yet? Ever come across fuel saving tips like:http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/transportatio...ods.cfm?attr=8?
Please keep on posting here so that all can see if you can achieve better numbers in the future.
FYI, I consistantly get close to 40 miles per imp. gallon(last tank returned 39.83 mpg), mainly because I drive more on highways

. There are folks who can do better. So, don't give up!
Thanks for joining in the discussion about fuel economy.

Thank you for a reply. Well, a decker on my windsheild says, the first service will be at 6,000km, therefore, it will be due in a couple of months.

I will keep my number posted. Thanks again.

My 2006 5spd Yaris RS was returning milage in the 6.8 to 7 l/100km all winter.
I drive about 50 to 75% highway.
The last two tanks were 6.4 and 6.1 l/100km, I think the slightly better weather combined with a more worked in motor (about 9000km now and first oil change done) is giving me some better milage numbers.
I've also noticed that the car dosen't really mind being driven a bit more agressively. I was always trying to keep the rev's down and shift early... but as long as you're not flooring it, I dosen't really hurt the fuel economy to shift at 3500 or so.
Hopefully this keeps up and I'll be in the 5's soon.

Yello - got 460 KMs on my shiny new Silver 06 RS 5 door with the auto (and occasionally I've been enjoying the rev happy engine quite a bit I must say...)

460KM's and like less than 10 KM's ago the third bar tripped so I am left with two bars on the fuel guage..

I don't think my autotrans is hurting the economy at this point.

I intend to use a jerrycan and run the tank as dry as I dare, but it seems even at this early point my autoyaris is getting way better numbers than your machine my friend - maybe she is sick...

Alot of hills in your area by any chance? I'm in rolly southern ontario - lots of mild hills, nothing too strenuous...

542 KM's is when i lost my nerve to fill it up.

39.36 Litres into the tank

My oh my I have never seen an Automatic Transmission car achieve fuel economy like that! Maybe the people on the forum here with the stick are too rev happy? I can't imagine that this being my first tank of fuel in the car I'll see numbers much worse than that.

They say it gets better after the moving parts in the car 'breaks in'? WHOO HOO!!

About the driver/terrain - Total mixed driving, lots of city, lots of rural highway... Its Waterloo/Wellington township so gently rolling hills everywhere... I've just gotten the car, so its not being thrashed within an inch of its life, but its not being babied either - after all I've been showing it off

1st tank = 7.3 L/100 KM's or 39 MPG... I think thats about fair - love the car!

Yello All Yarisians.

Tank numero deux, 544KM's and last bar starts flashing, 36.6L fed to Mighty Yaris... Auto Trans, 'spirited' driving, bout 70 city / 30 highway... rolling hills for terrain - 60 KM/H, and 110 KM/H typically.

1st tank = 7.3L/100 KM's or 39 MPG
2nd Tank = 6.7L/100 KM or 42 MPG

I'm not complaining about fuel consumption one bit!

Cheers...

Hello, here are my observations:

1. About 90 to 170 for the top bar and about 50 to 90 for the others, depending on many factors. There are eight bars. All bars do not last equally long.
2. No for cars in Canada, if you mean sophisticated computerized trip/fuel calculators. However, there are three readings available at the odometer so you can record and read the total distance the car has travelled in its life and two independent trips. The two trip meter readings can be cancelled for re-use in new trips.
3. Yes, if other factors e.g. weather, driving style etc. remain at least unchanged.

Enjoy your new car!

170km for one bar? That's very good!! I guess you're just cruising at 40km/h for that 170km?

Ziv · 03-10-2006, 12:59 PM

Well, here's my input:

First bar tops is 130 for me, min is 80 or so. Every other bar is roughly 70+/- and of courze, it makes a different in Hwy/Cty driving.

And I do have one question tho, did you guys notice that above the odometer, there are panel that is being 'unuse' which you could only probably see it in daytime (If you look really carefully, its there but is NOT lit). Such:
km/h, - 88 C, mph .. etc I notice quite a few of these are there but not being in use. Wonder if any of you guys knows how to trigger these unuse instrument that seems to be there.

Sorry if I am not being too clear, I can probably snap a photo and show you guys what i meant if you guys want to.

Those are probably for features available for other market (such as Japan). They probably have outside temp gauge, and trip computer. But for Canada, you only get what you can see.

swng · 03-10-2006, 09:02 PM

Thanks for the question Gabl. To avoid reposting, I will have to invite you to read my post on 3.3.06 in this thread. I am confident when warmer weather comes and after we have had proper break in, we all will do better than now. If you fill to the top like what I have done, 170km for the first bar may likely be attainable, especially in summer. If I remember correctly, our much respected fellow member echo_hrs has done exceedingly well with his new Yaris, and his first bar has probably lasted very long. He may not even have filled his tank to the very top.
Note however, there have been valid advices against filling till spill

wushumasterku · 03-10-2006, 09:53 PM

i've been crusing at about 120km/h to 140km/h on the highway, and the mileage is really sucking. about 270km on 4 bars..

swng · 03-10-2006, 10:03 PM

At that kind of speeds, you economy will be hurt by the headwind, if not the traffic tickets(no offence intended)

.

LAHAL · 03-17-2006, 09:20 PM

First tank, cost me about 38 bucks, got 492.5km. when i filled up, it stopped at 38 litters, so there was still 4 litres in the tanks.

swng · 03-18-2006, 12:11 AM

Thank you Frink and LAHAL. Your numbers will help me and others who have joined in this fuel economy discussion know how well we and our cars are doing.
Frink, your numbers are good!
LAHAL, not a bad start and I believe your numbers will improve as your car begins to break in.
Please keep posting here and thank you again!
