Got an Ecometer by AutoMeter last week

[Hershey]

What do any of you have your ECO-METER set at ? Ours is set at 94 for the '08 sedan with automatic . The ECO reads about 1 m.p.g. less than the calculated mileage . This way we know it's actualy doing better than the ECO overall gas mileage . Filled the car earlier and it got 40.77 m.p.g. , while the ECO read 40.6 . Curious if others are set at same or varies from YARIS to YARIS . Thanks .

I have not adjusted EFF because it was my first tank and the manual calc was "dead-on" with rounding. I should fill -up of Wednesday morning with my third tank of fuel. I'm pretty sure I will be adjusting EFF after a few more tanks of fuel. As I indicated in my earlier post I adjusted my max driving speed to 55 mph with this fill-up which has led to a jump so far from 43.7 to 46.5 as of this morning.

Next, is the switch to 0w-30 Amsoil signiture series oil and one of there 15,000 mile oil filters, in a couple of weeks. I'm trying to space out the changes to figure out which changes yield the the biggest MPG gains.

I was originally going to wait until fall to replace tires, but when I checked mine with a quarter yesterday, they were more worm than expected. I'm going to have Goodyear check them after work tonight. I'm hoping my measurements were off and I'm got more than 4/32nds.

If they are due for a change I'm not going with GY Eagle LS again. 33k miles is way to quick to use up a set of tires.

edit....

Tire man reports 4/32nds left side 3/32nds right side. My OEM tires are toast. He wants $668+ to replace them with Asurrance fuel Max tires. This seems like highway robbery for 185 60 15 tires. Individual tire are just under $140. with $32 for something call TPMS reseal.
