Very Nice, malibuguy.

With AC running during our Maryland heat wave, I pulled 50 mpg out of my '07 ATX sedan.

I ran 545 miles on the tank. 10.9 gallon fill.

rick996 · 06-12-2011, 11:24 AM

Just had by best tank yet. An even 45.0 MPG. I think that's the best I can do.

401.8 miles and a blinking bar . Took 10.05 gallons . So , calculation of 39.98 m.p.g. overall . We have ECO set little lower so we know it's doing better than what it displays . This is the 4 speed automatic .

Driving pretty hard this tank (smashing it around town and on the freeway, shifting much later than I normally shift, etc), and some AC usage. SGII is reading 36.1 mpg for my afe (average fuel economy). I set the SGII to read a little worse than what it actually is, so I'm thinking it's really ~37 mpg.

I just broke 50 for the first time this weekend. Two round trips from Hilo across the summit of Kilauea and back, plus lots of noodling around the Kilauea summit and Ka'u Desert roads. About 50 stops (engine off/on) during that noodling, as well. (150 miles total) :D

matthewai · 06-15-2011, 08:27 PM

for an auto transmish will putting the car into neutral and coasting to a stop save a little gas ive always done this maybe not all the time but most of the time (i havent searched anything on this so i dont know)

bkrownd · 06-16-2011, 03:55 AM

If you know what you're doing it can save fuel in the right situations, but rolling in neutral with an automatic transmission could potentially also put you in trouble if the engine stalls while you're coasting. More of a problem with a heavy SUV (been there, done that) than a Yaris, but it's something to keep in mind.

malibuguy · 06-16-2011, 12:19 PM

when your in neutral you don't get fuel cut off

But you DO conserve your hard-earned momentum.

Thats for sure...but one still maintains momentum when doing engine off coasting

matthewai · 06-17-2011, 01:00 PM

yeah i didnt say "get fuel cut off" i said to save a little but i guess thats how you interpreted that thanks great job!

malibuguy · 07-02-2011, 09:35 PM

51.22mpg last tank with a/c

Hershey · 07-04-2011, 08:41 PM

Got 41.69 m.p.g. calculated . This is a '08 base model sedan w/ auto . The ECO showed 40.9 , have it set lower . Tires set at 34.5 and 87 with 10% ethanol .

change your driving style. There are a ton of tips in the fe forum, just browse over them all and you will get better gas mileage. Driving for gas mileage is a completely different beast and takes some time to get use to.

I have to commute over an hour to work now, and in this heat there is no way i am turning off my a/c. Worst tank of gas was 39 mpg with highway speeds right about 80 or so. When I give myself enough time to go slower I get better.

In general I am pretty sure neutral coasting will get you better gas mileage, however the hypermilers seem to believe you need to drop speeds around 20 mph to really see the benefits, while with DFCO you get automatic benefits. It depends on your driving style, I am too lazy right now to shift into neutral, so my mileage is with DFCO exclusively. DFCO also works well with my natural driving habits anways, having horrid depth perception seems to be a plus in this instance.

malibuguy · 07-08-2011, 08:53 AM

i dunno

i used to drive my mothers '07 dodge caliber for a 1/2 year a few years ago, thats a 2.0L CVT & was getting 32-34mpg while using A/C...& thats a much bigger & heavier vehicle

just try to minimize the CVT slip i guess with light throttle use

Ilovemyyaris · 07-23-2011, 09:15 PM

When I first bought my Yaris it had a full tank of gas. I got about ~55 mpg out of it "mostly highway". At first I didn't really believe it because the sticker said it should only get 29 to 35 mpg.

I noticed I got a lot less mpg when I filled up the tank with new gas. Maybe it's just the ethanol gas stations use down here? Because now I get about 35 to 40 mpg on average. Which is still better than what the sticker said. The Toyota dealership had to bring my car from another state because they didn't have anymore of the specific Yaris I wanted, so I guess they used real gas there.

Also I notice a slight difference between gas stations. I get better mpg when I use Chevron or Shell vs lesser known "non-name brand" gas stations. Although Shell can be more expensive than other brands.
