My best MPG so far... - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

No offense taken from anyone by me. :)

Just stating what I saw on my most recent trip. I know that a more typical shorter trips that I take (25-50 mi hwy runs) results in ~40-44 mpg (depending on the wind) in rural MI.

One thing I've learned is anticipate traffic, terrain and road condition ahead of time and drive as smoothly as possible (w/ some pulse-n-glide & DFCO). If I can get a few more miles per gallon by driving smoother, then I don't mind taking a few more minutes to get to my destination. :) :)

Rather amazing number.

I was terribly happy by recently setting my personal best with 43.78mpg on a 230 mile trip this past weekend. Granted the first half of the trip was with tire pressure in the 23 range (i know i know) but we fixed that in the middle.

Probably 50 miles of the 230 was on local roads and up and down hills, with the rest on the highway.

I can totally sympathize with the poster above who said his gf gets much worse mileage. I still have my gf hitting 4000 rpm off a stop light. I just cringe.

Weather and traffic (route) conditions can help out as much as most mods and dedication to technique wins out over everything.

My latest commuting max is 52.5 Mpg (duplicated 3x) by taking the scenic route using only county 2 lane highway to get home from work. {50 miles of 40Mph speed limits}
With the warmer mornings and fewer construction issues my average on the trip into work has steadily crept up from 42 Mpg, to 45, and this morning 49.7.

Watching the Scanguage II certainly helps to tune in and give it just the right amount of gas to maintain desired speed or revs. After a year of practice, I can just about feel when I am putting the right amount of pressure to the gas.

It has taken a year to be able to do it consistently but I have met my goal of doubling the average commuting mileage of my previous ride.

I drive in rural Michigan too- commute to work is 33 miles one way. I just had my best tank at 41.24mpg. This was with using ac about 1/3 of the tank, and with anywhere from 300 to 700lbs of passengers.
