34.6MPG mostly city.

BTW - I tried the acetone thing in my Tacoma. It just plain didn't work. I used it on a 1000 mile trip. On the first half I didn't use it on the second half I did. MPGs were pretty much the same. 19MPG HWY.

Pitiful actually!

Well, all, my hypermiling efforts have finally led me to reach my goal of achieving 50 MPG with the Yaris!

I fueled up today with 10.383 gallons after 540.9 miles.

That is 52.095 MPG.

The miles represent 4 commutes over the mountain to work, letting the wife run errands twice, running my own errands twice, taking the parents out to dinner, one trip over Donner Pass (9,300ft.) to Sacramento (sea level) (230 miles round trip) and a lot of running around inside Sacramento.

Never forget that in order to roll down a hill you must first use lots of fuel to climb it, or you must climb it once you've gone down it. There's no such thing as all downhill in a mountainous region.

marcus · 05-30-2007, 11:28 AM

id say its almost a figure of speech...high km run =downhill..but im sure that was not the case...

bnther36 · 05-30-2007, 12:47 PM

52 mpg !!!!

All I can say is WOW !

Nigal · 05-30-2007, 03:32 PM

Did you happen to list how you were able to achieve such results somewhere already? I didn't wanna ask if you'd already posted it somewhere.

I just filled up today and got an all time high of 40 mpg out of my tank. I swear with 29,000 miles on my sedan it's almost as if it's just breaking in. I picked up some Mobil 1 0W-20 for an oil change tomorrow and am interested to see if there's any increase.

BailOut · 05-30-2007, 03:49 PM

Nigal,

I am glad to see your enthusiastic interest and point you to my stickied thread in this forum, "Fuel Efficiency and the Yaris".

Enjoy!

City/highway = 30/70. A/C was on about 20% of the time. Load was two people plus some belongings most of the time. Driving style: Synchronize with normal traffic.
Weather has been gradually warming up, and it must have helped a bit.
Last update is at Post #1145, Page 77.
Historical:http://www.gassavers.org/garage/viewgaslog/264

Filled up on 2 Jun 07 and the result was:

About 563 km traveled. Consumed 38.096 liters of fuel and used C$42.82 to fill back up.
Approximately 41.76 mpg (Imperial), or about 34.76 mpg (US), or 14.78 km per liter, or 6.77 liters per 100 km. I occasionally carried three passengers with their belongings, and the A/C was used about half of the time. Weather was good but warm. Driving style was - keep pace with traffic and be fuel economy conscious. No exotic measure used to save extra fuel. Other conditions similar to last report quoted i.e. Post #1201 at P.81.

This time, I used this free calculator (except for mpg (US)) which also contains a pageful of usual fuel saving tips:

For the mpg number in US gallon terms, I used the calculator provided free here:

naossoan · 06-03-2007, 06:31 PM

ok I did a calculation last night when I got home.

I drove 565 Km on 34.something litres of gas. 87 octane
came out to 6.11 L / 100km or 39.something MPG.

Not bad!

Also, how many litres is the gas tank? 40? Seems right because the last time I filled up, the last fuel bar just started flashing and I put 36.5 litres in so 40 seems about right. I'm at work and don't have the user manual with me to check. can anyone confirm this?

GotYaris? · 06-04-2007, 08:59 AM

Well my first 2 tanks of gas have gotten me approx 33.7 mpg...not exactly crazy about those numbers but I drive 35 miles one way to work and do anywhere from 65MPH to 75MPH, ac is off going to work and on coming home. I am going to take a highway trip from DC to NYC soon and see if it gets up into the 40pmg range.

Nigal · 06-04-2007, 04:56 PM

I was getting 34-37MPG when I first got mine but it slowly got better as I put more miles on.
