Why?

Sounds like your getting better than the posted sticker MPG on your Yaris,thats awesome! Do you drive a stick or automatic?

I drive a manual. I am a very relaxed driver. I'm tempted to strip the back seats like others have done, but I haven't quite brought myself to do it yet.

Congratulations on the apparently good numbers! Hope better and better results keep on coming to you. Here is a site you can use to calculate the mpg numbers of your new car. Enjoy:

Nice! Just added it to my list of favorite sites.

I have just filled up for the second time and have hit 1260 Km, I got the car with 19 km on it. Considering I cam from a 1989 Jeep Cherokee that had a 60 L tank thai I filled up 1.5 times a week I am in heaven! So far these numbers seem to compare to what everyone else is getting.

Ziv · 06-01-2006, 09:29 AM

Update:

442 km / 32 Litre
Roughly at 7.24
went up again, but at least is not around the 7.5 again anymore. Hope it does goes under 7 again next fill.

I got my yaris 2007 sedan aero package today. Gas i'm not sure yet, didin't get to use a full tank. But i got it today, drove 79km and didn't even lose a bar of gas. Well it still reads full gas.

swng · 06-02-2006, 12:37 AM

All bars do not represent the same amount of fuel. I bet you can easily get way more than a hundred km with your first bar. Other bars do not last that long however.
Enjoy your new car!

NickNickNick · 06-02-2006, 02:03 AM

Filled today.
37mpg in-city over 348km...

It seems the further I go without filling, the better mileage I get.

When I didn't fill for over 650km, I only got 37L in, and was getting over 40mpg in-city. Does anyone know if this could happen?

Plus: A good metric calc.

Sorry, not really have an answer for you because the difference you have achieved seems big. It may be a good thing to know such a way of getting good fuel economy though. Just hope that it is repeatable. Frankly, and I think you have implied it too, this seems to run against common sense.
However, if you fill up often, you carry a full tank load of gas often. If you travel with a half/near empty tank, you carry less load.
There are enough reasons not to drive with a near empty tank, but the fact is doing this saves you a little fuel. Just a little, hehe.............
Just added the site you recommended to my list of favorite sites. Thanks!

hey guys back from another trip from toronto, full my tank to the max in montreral. avg speed was about 140km with a/c on the whole trip ,3 adults and alot of bags, Did montreal to mississauga in about 5 hours then drove back to ajax did about 620km starting to get worried the last bar was flashing since about 575km. my car is manual. good air pressure 35psi in about 25 degress heat for the whole trip. when i fulled up the second time the car took 40 liters.

Leenis24 · 06-03-2006, 05:25 PM

Still have just over half a tank left from full tank, and i've driven about 190 miles so far. Thats about 38MPG if i've only used 5 gallons on the 11.1 gallon tank. These are all just measurments from my best analysis. Its still on the first tank of gas, i got the car yesterday. I'll do another calculation when i refill the tank to find out how much i used from the first full tank.

That's roughly 43.7 mpg(imp). That's good considering the load, the A/C, and the speed.
I have noticed that the last bar will flash faster as the fuel tank gets closer to emptiness. When it happens, I would drive to the nearest gas station without more hesitation.

fearturtle44 · 06-04-2006, 11:59 AM

I got 39 mpg on my first full tank of gas. About 50/50 on city/highway driving. I was IMPRESSED....

Please prepare to be more impressed later, as your engine breaks in

More and more fellow members have already gotten or will soon be getting their new cars. For the benefit of all, would the new car owners please post their fuel economy here? The bigger the sample base, the better.
All are welcome to share their fuel saving tricks here too!

JaiTomato · 06-08-2006, 10:46 PM

Here's an update. I've driven 2623 miles and bought 60.012 gallons (6 fill-ups). So that's an avg of 43.7 mpg.
