As the starter of this thread, I am pleased to be at your service. 7.9 liters per 100 km is about 29.87 mpg (US) or 35.7 mpg (Imp). Here is a useful link to help do the conversion (It was recommended by another member earlier):
http://www.roity.com/petrol/metcalc.html Here is another one: http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/transportatio...ut.cfm?attr=16 If you use the second one, which is Canadian, you can type in your numbers, get the calculated results and then copy and paste them to your next post on this thread. I think if you only copy and paste the few lines containing your fuel economy, there should not be any copy rights issues, but correct me if I am wrong. Enjoy! |

I don't know if the Lower Mainland, Vancouver in particular, is receiving the winter blended fuel, but my mileage has worsened since the end of summer.
But at the same time, my car has changed as well, so I am sure that also contributes to the poorer mileage.

I just picked up a 2007 3-door 5-speed a few weeks ago, and I'll be tracking my mileage closely as I've done with all my cars in the past. A year ago I drove a 13-MPG SUV, sold it and went to a 50-MPG Diesel Golf, and now I'm curious to see how far I can push this Yaris. First tank got me just a hair under 30 MPG, but I have no idea if the tank really was full to start off with.
I've been using the same simple speadsheet forever, which calculates from liters into gallons, kms into miles, so I can see both L/100KM and MPG quickly. It also plots everything into a graph for visuals. I only have 1 fillup so far, but you can see what the end result is here: http://www.superjens.com/cars/Yaris-Stats/index.htm If you want the spreadsheet for yourself: http://www.superjens.com/cars/Yaris-Stats/stats.xls When I had the 13-MPG SUV (two years worth of city/hwy/offroad averages), I drove across Canada and back in it one summer. With a few tricks and some really careful driving I managed to get 26 MPG average! That was with a bike and other junk on the roof. I'm looking forward to some long road trips next summer in this little Toyota, my bet is I'll be able to squeeze 50 MPG out of it. |

I got 31.5MPG the other day. Lead foot with about 50/50 city/hwy. I need to lighten my foot so I could get the 35-40MPG like everyone else.

Does your gas mileage get better once the vehicle passes the 1000 miles break in mark or ? My first gas tank I got 375miles, second one I got only 325miles, 3rd looks to be less. Not sure how anyone is getting 40+ mpg.
Slow starts, 65-70 on the highway. I bought this vehicle specifically for the gas savings. Liftback, manual. Thoughts? |

it appears you are getting about 25 mpg right now, assuming you are filling up a full tank (approx. 10 galons u.s.).
this is exactly what i was getting a year ago when my car was new, and with winter fuel. now, i'm getting about 34 mpg around the city with winter fuel. |

I had a similar experience to yours i will share later. The only thing i can think is that there is a thread on here that shares the experiences of one guy who ran out of gas and it caused him to get someting like 19mpg for his next couple tanks. It turns out that there are sensors in the tank that adjust your fuel consumption somehow for very low feul levels. Apparently that is one reason why the manual recommends filling up when you have two bars left. Also, according to the NHSTA every 10mph extra you travel on the interstate cost an average of 20% fuel economy. Thus if you are going 70 instead of 60 you will use 20% more gas. That isnt exact im sure, but you can get the idea it is a pretty handsome number. My first tank got 29, i filled up and i only had 0.8 gallons left in my tank, my second got 25mpg, my third got 23 (doing about 80-85% highway at 60mph steady) and then i filled it up, took a road trip on the interstate and i got 34 mph each way going over 70, probably averaging 75 mph, a little 85. (only 100 miles each way though). Earlier I had taken it in and had the transmission inspected and everything checked out ok. My theory is that when we run the fuel so low it messes up the sensors, but after a point they automatically reset--seems to have happened to me as after i filled up again i got such huge improvments driving so fast on the interstate. There were a couple other people that talked about this on here elsewhere. |
