I got my Yaris with a half a tank of gas. So my first full tank of gas averaged 38mpg. Not bad for an Auto can't wait to see what happens once everything is broken in.

Right now my Yaris fuel mileage is without the bounds cast upon it by mankind, but of course it is parked in the garage.

On a serious note I have averaged 41 MPG (to date) counting every gallon of gas since purchase. My commute is approximately 50 miles per day with about 45 of those on Interstate highway at a steady 65 MPH. My friend has an equally capable vehicle, but does much worse. She accelerates hard from stops and drives at ever fluctuating speeds on the Interstate. You know the type, she always races ahead, but you catch up to her at the next red light! We toke her car on a trip and I drove achieving the highest MPG she has ever had with that car. She was pissed, but started to pay attention to how I drive. We both are going to get a Scanguage to improve our results (I hope) through driver discipline.

On my most recent tank of gas I achieved 39.4MPG, I was very pleased. It was the first time I had driven my Yaris for mileage, instead of driving hard, still missing the extra 700HP I experience on a regular basis. I shifted at 3000RPM and accelerated... slowly. I'd say it took me 10 seconds to get to 45mph driving like that. S-L-O-W.

It's a compromise, this mileage thing. You get the typical pushy Floridian SUV drivers on your tail flashing their hi-beams when you drive for gas mileage. A problem I'm not used to experiencing. Back before I put a blower on my truck and was getting ~500hp I'd accelerate slowly, wait for someone to get aggravated and try to pass me. Then I'd slam the gas pedal down, leaving them in the dust or just keep them from being pushy by matching their speed. Fun times, just not when gas is >$3 a gallon and you get <8MPG.

marcus · 05-14-2007, 12:28 PM

this car cannot run 140 miles on the first bar..140 km is doable but not in miles..

BailOut · 05-14-2007, 12:41 PM

As I said, it may have just been a fluke in the gauge system but the display is in miles, not kilometers. Again, I see 85-105 miles on the first pip every time, but seeing 142 was a first.

marcus · 05-14-2007, 01:28 PM

i see i wish i can achieve that the most i had was 140 km on the first bar then again thats on my 3 tank..what was the most you've ran b4 the last bar blinked.. in kilometer ..

BailOut · 05-14-2007, 03:11 PM

I haven't let it get low enough to blink the last pip yet, and the best I've done so far was 9.516 gallons with the 2nd pip still showing.

At that point the tank had 472.1 miles/759.8 kilometers on it.

marcus · 05-14-2007, 03:16 PM

its gotta be all highway kilometers... i can barely get this this to 600 km.. and that sensible driving there no pushin it??

Yes, that was mostly highway driving, but I've hit 49.74 MPG on a tank (379.5 miles, 7.63 gallons) while commuting over the mountain to work.

when commuting, mileage depends much on the engine's rpm, I think in the 5th gear when driving at 30mph the rpm is close to 1-1500. BailOut, could you precise the actual speed/gear ? It looks like the Yaris gets very good mileage on low rpm's

marcus · 05-14-2007, 06:06 PM

kewl...thumbs up the the mileage...

BailOut · 05-14-2007, 07:07 PM

I never drive faster than 55 MPH and on my commute over the mountain I stay in 3rd or 4th gear between 2,000 and 3,300 RPM, usually going 40-50 MPH (there are a few 20 MPH climbing cutback turns). On flat land I stay below 2,000 RPM as much as possible but more torque is required to climb the mountain.

On the back side of the mountain I make extensive use of DFCO and FAS (Forced Auto Stop - coasting in neutral with the engine off), which greatly helps make up for some of the fuel I had to use for climbing.

nsmitchell · 05-15-2007, 12:01 PM

I got 35.3MPG the other day. Mostly city driving. My engine is running buttery smooth nowadays. Since my ticket I've been driving the speed limit and my mileage is reflecting that.

eTiMaGo · 05-15-2007, 12:14 PM

24.5MPG last tank, higher than before by a little bit, it's promising... Now that I've had oil changed to synthetic, and a lightened crank pulley installed, I wonder how these will affect future tanks...

jamal1984 · 05-15-2007, 12:23 PM

I think my car will stick to either 34 or 35 mpg max, i'm driving hard most of the time, carrying alot of stuffs, it's fell like there is always 2 or more peoples in my car. I'm happy with it.

marcus · 05-15-2007, 12:38 PM

1st tank 540km with 39.8l fill up = 38.34mi/gal with regular 87 octane
2nd tank ran 535km fill up 38.4l = 39.37mi/gal with premium 89 octane
3rd tank 540km 37.5l fill up=40.69mi/gal with premium 89 octane
4th unbeknown

the funny thing is the last fuel bar started blinkin on 535 sumthin..and i ifilled up 37.5 liter max i can put in there which mean i have about 5 liters atleast..give or take..to about 43 liter tank.. about another 75 kilometers on that remaining gas.. i thought when it starts blinkin you only got about 50 km on it..?????

argylesocks · 05-15-2007, 01:05 PM

now that its warm out again.. im typically 40-43mpg
