Eco-Meter : 43 ( set @ 96 )

Refill of Valero 87 w/E10 at 1 click . 2 people for whole tank . Temp of 42+ and winds of 15+ m.p.h.. Many hills as well . 4 Bridgestone Blizzak WS 70s' at 35.5 p.s.i. and using Shell synthetic 5w-20 ( SN ) . Was getting 45.3 when arrived at pet store . So , likely 44.7 or so since the calculated milage is usually less .

2011 3dr 5spd (stock), 13,000+ miles

Best 41.02mpg
Avg 37.63mpg
Worst 35.12mpg

I have only reached over 40mpg's twice. My best tank was this last tank. Two tanks ago, halfway through I decided to try and get over 40mpg's. I did! The next tank (second to last measured tank) I tried to get over 40mpg's over the whole tank, I fell short 39.something. So this last tank I decided that coasting, slowly starting (rpm's under 2,500), and utilizing the DFCO function was too boring. So more than a few times I went through first and second gear just shy of 6,000 rpms (it is just more fun). I was just hoping to get above 35mpg's and wouldn't you know it, I got my best mpg's to date. I did drive conservatively occasionally during this tank, so it wasn't like I was always zipping around.

Two fill ups ago I had the first oil change and had them put synthetic 0-20 in my 2012 Yaris 5 speed. Since then on the past two tankfuls I got 43.4 and 43.2 MPG.
In addition to synthetic oil I run 40 lbs of pressure in the tires.

Nice . What brand oil is it ? How about an used oil analysis of the 0w-20 and post it .

Over Winter break I found that the best way to get incredible gas mileage in a yaris is to go to florida, haha. I was doing high 40's or so mpg. The ultralight wheels garm sold me help; but I guess just getting out of tennessee and driving like a granny helps. Anyone wanna volunteer to go to florida and see?

Here in SE Texas the climate is Sub-Tropical (as most of Florida is) and I don't really notice a dip in MPG during the Winter. Among the 'Lower 48' (I haven't driven in AK nor HI) I think the craziest drivers are in AZ, CA, FL, IL, MI, NV, TN, TX, and in DC/+the DC Beltway parts of MD and VA. Among these crazy spots, the craziest drivers (by far, in my opinion) are in the southern half of the Florida mainland. Crazy = lack of skill, lack of safety and safety+courtesy, and sometimes malicious intent.

For quite a while Florida would trade you a Florida license for a drivers license from any country, so a lot of people with no real experience driving in traffic easily got a license. Or people from countries who totally ignored all traffic lights and signs could get one easily as well.

But Florida driving was easy. People were courteous and always would let me in if I turned on my blinker. Now driving in and around Boston is crazy. Probably the closest thing to demolition derby with no one really wanting an accident you can get. Always cut off the expensive cars, because they will stop.

Funny thing is I never kept track of my gas mileage while I was in Florida. Well I guess I still don't, just quickly do the math at the pump.

I just about got taken out (he tried to prevent me from changing lanes) the other day ... all because my Yaris wasn't fast enough for Mr Road Rage.

All I had to say was .. "Watch me pass the gas station in my little Yaris". So there Mr Hot Shot ... some people just never learn.

i avoid all that, i tend to be the one on the far right going slower than the entire road.

this is right about where ultragauge and calculated puts me (in south florida) effortlessly. i get bored trying to max mpg out .

i can tuck in behind a semi and ultra gauge will be showing mpg up into the high 50s/low 60s mpg at 75-80mph. and then usually i kill it in town driving

After almost 3 and a half years, I get an average of around 37 to 39 MPG. I have tried everything to get it higher but I use my cruise control on trips and I refuse to draft large semis.
