Amsoil 0W-20 is $31.90 plus shipping for preferred customers on their site (preferred customers just have to pay a $10 membership for 6 months).

i pay about $7.80 a quart for the Eco oil & i run a Mobil 1 filter too

my previous to last tank was 52...my last tank was a road trip into the mountains...probably WOT most of the time, 44.11 mpg

I'm jst astounded by some of the numbers people get on this thread. I was impressed with what I had gotten for years in the Echo, but it's noticeably less than many here. I'm gonna let the engine loosen up and look after my undercoating and sway bar then try to hit some bigger MPG.

You must have a big grin every time you fill up at the gas station.

Still not getting any better than 34 Mpg..
no harsh driving.. just normal accel.. cant even hear the engine sometimes .
Am using the A/C intermittently .. turning it on after ive settled to cruise speed.

Yeah... ditto. I usually don't get better than 37MPG per fill up (with mostly freeway miles and A/C on 90% of the time) and I am at about 37MPG over 24k miles. The best I got was about 40MPG but only one way going to Vegas from LA with cruise set to 70~75MPH...

My worst tank so far was the last one @ 34MPG. But that was because I was meandering through neighborhoods looking at houses for a quarter tank.

The Limo · 09-08-2011, 12:49 AM

Best tank 5.21 litres per 100 kilometres. Cruising down the highway at 100-110 km/h on a nice sunny day.

Worst tank 8.61 litres per 100 kilometres. Some city driving and highway driving in an ice and snow storm.

Average 6.10 litres per 100 kilometres for 90k kilometres.

Love my Yaris

Just curious,looking for comments from people that had their Yaris from brand new. Did you notice much of an improvement in fuel economy say from 500 miles to the 5000 mile mark where the engine should be broken in?

What was the one thing you did that made the biggest diff in your MPGs.

Thanks

TLyttle · 09-09-2011, 12:44 AM

Not me. I frequently find myself at the pumps beside some bozo with an all-decked-out dually pigup, and walk past him mumbling, "Damn, $34 to fill up again this month, that's twice..." just as his pump passes $125 or more...

But I'm naturally mean, and old enough so they don't pick a fight...

digitalrain · 09-09-2011, 01:08 AM

Too funny! Lucky you can get away with saying it. Scary it doesn't take much to fill $100 in a lot of vehicles these days.

A tick under 52mpg last tank...without much effort sadly...but i think my rear toe is eating up some of it

digitalrain · 09-17-2011, 09:58 PM

I'm always amazed by your MPG figures. Just astounding. I believe that you may change over to a Mazda in the future to get even more eye popping numbers with their phenomenal Sky-Activ technology.

I just got a brand new Yaris a few weeks ago, but the Sky-Activ platform is just around the corner and it's a monstous game changer.

Toyota desparately needs someone , anyone that has a fun to drive gene in them ala Zoom Zoom...

i really need to update my ecomodder thingy...i have like 7 gas slips in my glovebox.

I view it as, save as much money doing my work commute, so i can have more money for the race car

RcJosh · 09-19-2011, 01:54 PM
