Fuel Economy - Page 57 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I was not being too cautious with mileage the last little while. It was on average -15 degrees C for a few weeks here, on winter tires, and with lower pressure (about 30psi for better contact patch). I acheived 30.2mpg US driving 70 hwy / 30 city shifting at 4500rpm (the car is a little faster in really cold weather, so it is more FUN).

Last tank I finally toned down my driving. I started shifting at 2500 and really took it easy. I acheived 36.4 mpg (70hwy/30city). It's ok I guess.

My first fill up was after 430km so about 8.8L/100km or 31.98MPG all city driving. I hope it gets better. I really want to break the 600km mark.

So WHY does your fuel economy get better? is it about gaskets and compression only?

My Yaris just ticked over 1,000 miles. So far my average through 4 fill ups is 26.79 MPG. Mind you that the weather has been cold lately and I have been working 6 miles from home for a few months now. That is also 98% true city driving.

First tank 38.5 mpg US. Mostly highway flat cold windy and SNOW.

eTiMaGo · 03-14-2007, 04:57 AM

Just refueled, 24.13MPG, the best so far by a tiny margin.

Razr · 03-14-2007, 07:58 AM

Fuel economy is trending downwards here - after todays fill up I got 28MPG.

Could have something to do with the atrocious pollution here ATM though - currently 6x "safe" limits, and more than 10x that of Bangkok - anyone that's been to BKK before will have an idea of how bad it actually is! :(

I just put in Amsoil Performance Improver (PI). I bought a case of it for around $6.00/bottle (16oz.) You put in 6 oz to begin with, then 1 oz per 10 gal after that. I'll let yall know how it turns out. I can already tell it is getting overall a "buttery smooth" feel to the engine.

ECHOKnight2000 · 03-15-2007, 03:18 PM

I reached my highest mpg to date on Wednesday on the way to work. 49mpg!!! I hope and wonder if I will break 50mpg when the weather gets warmer, I've read other ECHO owners getting that much, I even have an automactic so that's even more impressive. I was just impressed!

jdubau55 · 03-15-2007, 04:52 PM

The first tank I computed was around 36 MPG. Went a lil over 360 miles to like 9.6 gallons I think.

popeetheus · 03-18-2007, 11:29 PM

I got 35 mpg my first tank without doing anything special, other than not hot-rodding like a jackass. This is with mostly rural and city driving.

acrbill · 03-24-2007, 01:49 PM

MY MPG is improving as I put more miles on the car.

With 1300 miles on the car I just got my best MPG 29.7
the lifetime average is 27.38

This is just so odd, I'm reading posts like this and I'm beginning to think I got a "magic" yaris.. I never get less than 33mpg, ever! And my over all average is 34.6mpg. I've got 11,564 miles on the car and have been keeping track. I drive the crap out of the lil' car... 80Mph (+) on the freeway and working the twisties pretty hard on my daily return commute from work..

It's just really weird the wide variance in mileages, other owners are getting.

Currently my drive to work is only 6 miles one way. The car barely has time to warm up before the ride is over. That kills mileage.

I don't get out of second gear on my commute to work. Be jealous.
