Me too! I only drive 2 miles each way to work and back. My first 2 tanks I babied it. I never accelerated hard or downshifted. I am on my third tank now and have a little harder on it. I will see if it makes a difference. And yes I have it in drive. lol.

I average 28 MPG. I drive about 25 miles to work and back everyday with about 4 miles of that in the city. I leave for work at 5 AM so traffic is not a problem. It probably doesn't help that I drive my Yaris like it's stolen.

Short distances like that will kill your MPG as the engine never fully warms up.

With such a short commute (good planning on your part?) I would bicycle it year round, skipping only the snowiest, slushiest days.

I'll be honest. I got fat tires.
