So you're saying you put your life at risk if you DON'T speed?

You obviously have never drivin through Detroit or Atlanta on I-75, because if you do not speed, you WILL get ran off the road

I'm glad I rarely have to drive on the interstate

I-75 in Atlanta--Absolutely True! Those HOV lanes are insane!

As of the end of Oct, I've had my Yaris a full year. Good time to present a summary of results

Distance covered over 1 yr was 16,826.8 km. Year-long avg fuel consumption works out to 6.51 L/100 km. That's 36.11 mpg for the Monopoly players out there, and 43.37 mpg for the poker players.

I'm satisfied w/the results. Fuel expenses were very reasonable (a quick tally says ~CAN$900). Dare I suggest however, that the real way to save big, is to minimize taking the car out of the garage at all.

Overal usage was approx 2/3 hwy & 1/3 city. Burning 10% ethanol fuel for all but ~4000 km (regular gas used there).

Highest recorded fuel consumption was 7.52 L/100 km (a period of more short city trips in the winter). Lowest was 5.48 L/100 km, achieved on a 500 km summer hwy trip.

As I roll into my 2nd year, and with the arrival of winter, fuel consumption is up vs. the summer (as expected - now sitting at 6.5-7.0 L/100 km). Equipment changes vs. last year include a switch to synthetic oil, and winter tires. Cheers.
