Fuel Economy Poll - Toyota Yaris Forums

I've been getting pretty bad mileage in comparison to most people here. I've filled up maybe four times and gotten 28, 33, 27, 26 MPG thus far. But it's been ridiculously cold here (-32ºC / -25ºF) for like the past month. I'm guessing (hoping) that's why it's been so low. I do about half highway driving and half city driving.

You're not alone. My last fill up was an astounding 29.3mpg, and it went up to 34 when we had the early january thaw.

I just filled up .. I am getting 33.6 US MPG (7.0 L/100 KM). That is down from about 40 MPG in the summer time. My fuelly is steadily inching downwards.

what kind of traffic conditions are you driving in to get those numbers?

stop and go rush hour traffic or all clear cruising? city driving or mostly suburban/highway? all rural?

100% city driving. Mostly non rush hour.

My Yaris is a 2012 SE 5-spd manual with 12,500 miles. The worst full tank refill mileage I have had since I got the car is 35 mpg. The best is 39.5 mpg. Here in central Massachusetts, I have been avaeraging between 37.5 - 39.5 using summer gas during warm weather. As winter hit, I dropped to 36 or so. However, we have had much colder weather between 0F to 25F (-18C to -4C) for over a week. My mileage has gone down to 34.5 to 35 mpg. This includes some highway driving (maybe 100 - 150 miles per 340 mile tank) and the rest is rural semi-stop and go (drive 40-50 miles at 30 - 45 mph on curvy back roads).

Summary :

a) Winter mileage - 35- 36.5mpg (mix of super highway, town traffic and rural roads)
b) Summer Mileage - 38 - 39.5 mpg (same mix)
