How to have 37mpg + ??? Need help - Toyota Yaris Forums

Kaotic Lazagna · 03-17-2013, 01:53 AM

I keep my throttle at 24% since I found that that's best for my car (not for all Yarii) and let the road determine my speed. So that means I'll go anywhere from 55-75 mph. I cap it at those extremes and change my throttle percentage accordingly.

I currently have 85/15 fwy/city on this tank, and my SG reports 40.6 mpg (will be more like 41.9 or so since I set the SG to read lower than what I'm really getting).

Anywho, if I'm driving slow, I'm in the slow lane. If someone starts tailgating me or blasts their horns at me, I just low down even more. I'll take a little mpg hit (since I'll have to accelerate again) to piss them off, especially when there are several other lanes they can switch to and pass.
