This is just so odd, I'm reading posts like this and I'm beginning to think I got a "magic" yaris.. I never get less than 33mpg, ever! And my over all average is 34.6mpg. I've got 11,564 miles on the car and have been keeping track. I drive the crap out of the lil' car... 80Mph (+) on the freeway and working the twisties pretty hard on my daily return commute from work..

It's just really weird the wide variance in mileages, other owners are getting.

Currently my drive to work is only 6 miles one way. The car barely has time to warm up before the ride is over. That kills mileage.

I don't get out of second gear on my commute to work. Be jealous.

in fact it's not a matter of engine - it will broke-in within 1-200 miles
a new O2 sensor has to be "burned" in order to return good mileage, the higher the engine is revved the hotter the O2 gets and the fastest it will broke-in

i average between 33 and 38 mpg in my Yaris, depending on how much city driving i do. my best so far was 389 miles in 10.06 gallons of fuel. i havent taken the car on any trips to the coast or Southern Cali, which i am positive I will see 400+ miles

so you drive across the street to go to work?

churp · 03-26-2007, 02:31 AM

Got 3,300m on my automatic liftback and get 35 normally....20 miles to work....but on a recent 900 mile trip got 31/32 but drove 75 to 80mph all the way. I keep track of every drop I've put in it, cause I expected better but not too disapointed.

nsmitchell · 03-26-2007, 10:09 AM

I got 31 MPG, still driving hard. This is my first result after using Amsoil PI. A little better than the 27-28MPG I was getting.

No sidewalks, and as much as I love trudging through muddy ditches, I usually drive allllll the way across the street.

Then when I leave and I'm all pissed off, I can just hop in and cruise out to the CVNP and cruise. Eases the mind.

zerofloat · 03-26-2007, 09:38 PM

second tank 38.48 mpg

, sure beats 8.9 last week in the motorhome.

BailOut · 03-27-2007, 09:52 PM

Great job, zerofloat! That's very close to my second tank (38.96 MPG).

I just fueled up for my 5th time today and got 46.40 MPG.

Come join me at CleanMPG.com and we'll get you up in the mid-40's without breaking a sweat!

On a different note I know your MPG pain with the larger vehicles. I used our Tacoma to haul our boat (4,800 pounds with fuel and trailer) over the mountain for a fishing trip the weekend before last and got just 13.5 MPG.

That's a damn sight better than most folks could do on that trip (my Father-in-law only gets about 7-8 MPG on that haul with his weak sauce Tahoe) but I still feel guilty about it. TerraPass, here I come!

Unknown_Epiphany · 03-28-2007, 11:21 AM

My last tank was a combined 40.08 MPG with an auto Sedan.
