Insert sarcasm here.

An ecometer shows you what your mpg. The harder you are on the gas the more you consume. This allows you see the effects your having on your mileage based on how you change your driving style. It does make a difference! You can make a game out of it and see what nets you the most mpg. Hard trottle your mpg drops.. Coasting it goes way up. You'll start to let off the throttle more when possible to net those gains.
Great way to increase those mpg numbers.. also a great way to see how fun (spirited) driver hurts it. lmao. |

Imagine,
What kind of gas mileage do you get from your 3 door? |

I was routinely getting about 30-35 out of my '07 auto liftback. I haven't run a full tank through my '09 yet to see how it's doing. I expect this tank to be less than I would get normally since my fiancee drove it to downtown Cincinnati yesterday and put about 150 miles on it.
I have 220 miles on this tank and it just dropped to 3 bars. I'm going to say it will be close to mid 30s by the time I have to fill up. That's with 17 inch wheels and 27K miles. |

Filled up today. Got 33 mpg out of mixed city and highway driving and 17 inch wheels, curious to see what the next tank is with less city.

As others have stated, change your oil after 3K and move to synthetic and you might see a slight improvement due to the lower viscosity.
Personally on my 08 Yaris I run 40psi in all 4 tires / have a scangauge / drive no faster than 60mph on the freeway and in the summer I'm hitting mid 40's without trying. to compare apples to apples In the winter I'm getting 35mpg on average. Again YMMV, but 95% of my driving is freeway and only for commute to work.

Loss of gas mileage....
My yards Sedan is an 09 so it was two years old when I got it, I have had it for a year (Got it in March 11), and until november (2011) ish, I was getting 700km(434 Miles) no problem to a tank of gas, and thats using A/C (I still had no problem getting 700km(434 Miles) even in summer with AC on)
I pushed it a few times to 740km(459 Miles) but made sure a gas station was near by. I drive 115km(71 Miles) one way to work every day, mostly highway, and I was getting 3 round trips with out having to fill up. For the last 4months, I have been lucky to get 640km(397 Miles) out of a tank, the only thing thats changed since november is the colder weather and yes I put on winter tires. Is it usual to lose between 70 and 100km(43-62 Miles) in gas due to cold weather and winter tires? Oh the car had 34k when I got it and in a year its now at 81k... |

I've noticed with my hatch I'm getting a couple less mpg; I'm at around 88k miles myself. I'm puttin my money on the pressure and temperature changes having a hand in it; but don't really have any way to prove it.

yes, winter, plus snow tires, plus winter gas will lose gas mileage. sometimes as much as 3 or 4 mpg or more.

I have been very happy with the mileage of my 2008 auto-trans Yaris. I averaged high-30's as soon as I drove it out of the lot. By 5000 miles, I was averaging low 40's. I made sure that the tire pressure was correct. Following guidance from Pop Mechanics mag., I accelerate fairly quickly to get to higher gears and try to time my passage through signal lites and slow down slowly if I can. Doing jack rabbit starts and stops...my Yaris drops into the high 20's-low 30's. Most disturbing is when fighting strong head winds on Freeways and mpg drops to mid-to-low 30's.

Speaking of fuel efficiency, just watched a documentary called "Collapse" about, well, lots of things, but in particular concerning how future oil shortages will affect the world. Being Yaris owners, I think we are all doing the right thing by owning fuel efficient cars that ultimately decrease energy demand (thereby decreasing our dependence of foreign sources of energy), increase national security, and probably help to mitigate the impending future oil shortage.
Check it out. The documentary is pretty good. Michael Rappaport is interviewed.... |

With the present winter of 2012 gas prices have been the most ever for any winter season? Demand has been the lowest? Go figure? Wouldn't peak oil be bases on the law of Supply & Demand??? One has to look at short term and long term also. With what I'm seeing definately the market is being manipulated. Speculation must be the main culprit... mind you short term. Long term, there is manipulation occuring that probably far exceeds our understanding. Cheers!

I realized something interesting today about having a ScanGauge:when someone else drives your car, you can access the wealth of information it retains, and see how your personal driving stacks up.
I had to have someone drive my HB 45 miles for me, they averaged 35 mpg, I get 41 on the same route. They hit a high of 78 mph, my max was 65, nuff said. |

The most important part about so called fossil fuels? Even the russian scientist who came up with the theory changed his mind a decade later. Oil and the like are processes of our planet, and always have been. There is nothing to see here but people doing everything they can to turn others into sheep. Quote:
To summarize, $1 a gallon gas or less could be easily had by drilling for oil in the US, forcing company's that drill oil in the US to sell it here, building more US refinery's, and basically telling eco freaks and eco terrorists to jump in the arctic ocean with their beloved polar bears.
