no tanks under 40 MPG in a year - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

these topics crop up once in a while, good to see other's mileage. mine has diminished a bit. but i also treat my car like ... well just not like it's new. i still average around 34, even during the winter :( which i thought i'd get near 40 with no ac, going 55-60 to work, which id say is rather ideal speed. im not too concerned tho, i can whip around a corner and smile, so maybe its worth it :)

Not really trying, Think i'm doin 35ish, Stlil new 5K on the clock,
I just like to wind it up and roll!This thing rolls nice at 75-80MPH
I think with the warmer weather and good gas I'll hit 40+
4 dollar gas here soon!! Remember when gas was only $4 Bucks a Gallon?!

If I ever move to a lower altitude without a bunch of steep hills the I'm confident I could get those numbers too.

I must be doing something horribly wrong. I have my tires inflated to 41 psi, drive an average of around 58 mph, and the best tank I've gotten is 32.2 mpg. It's pretty depressing, actually. Particularly reading all of the posts from those who get high 30s/low 40s. I still have only around 1,650 miles on my lb auto Yaris, so I don't know if these numbers will stay where they are or improve as the car ages. I'm regretting not getting the sedan. I thought since the lb weighed less, fuel efficiency would be better. I never factored in aerodynamics. Naive on my part. At any rate, hopefully my numbers will improve as time progresses. I'm pretty bummed at this point, but shouldn't be since the fuel efficiency standard is 29/35 for my Yaris. But with all the hardcore high fuel efficiency stories on this site, who wouldn't be depressed if they aren't getting the same?
