Fuel Economy - Toyota Yaris Forums

First post on this thread. Great thread by the way. I used to drive an RX-8. Got the Yaris because I couldn't talk to my kids about the environment with a straight face and still drive a fuel sucking rotary. Love the Yaris.

Working on some subtle mods and audio. I'm probably parroting someone else's comment and preaching to the converted but there's three things to remember to achieve good fuel economy:

1. Keep your tires properly inflated.
2. Keep unnecessary weight out of the vehicle.
3. Avoid jackrabbit starting/stopping.

First tank since purchase: 514 km from 37.27L (7.25L/100km) with around 80% city driving. Is there a general consensus on whether economy improves after vehicle break in/oil changes? Cheers
