That's a good point that I didn't even consider until you mentioned it. I also seem to get better mileage with my Corolla than other people get with thiers, so maybe my driving habits are more condusive to achieving better fuel economy. Come to think of it, I'm always the one getting passed on the highway. While I'm cruising along at 75 MPH, everyone else is passing me at 80+ MPH. I might see low 40s with a Yaris.

I don't know what my MPG is currently.
But I filled it up last time and I'm down 3 bars at just over 200 Km I think, all city driving. It's hard for me to like go all the way down to the fuel light on, cause I live on Vancouver island (Canada West coast) and if I go up island about 50 KM gas is like 8 cents cheaper...so I'll fill up on the way back there and stuff so it's hard to get an accurate reading (unless i see how much fuel I put in and do the math which I'm waaaay too lazy to do that haha.) so I'll post when I get an accurate MPG reading. |

There are so many factors for gas mileage, what you need to do is be OK with what you are getting. People mis-calculate, there are atmospheric anomolies, gasoline variances, etc. The best thing to do is say, "Wow, I am 1/2 a tank and I've gone THAT MANY MILES! Beat the heck out of an SUV!" and be happy with it!
Here in the Bay Area, if you commute on one side of the bay, you get different gas mileage because of prevailing winds, than the other side of the bay. It could be a 6MPG difference, and you wouldn't even feel the wind...

Yes milage varies with temp, road conditions, etc. ......but to say my half tank got me xxxmiles means nothing, it's not MIScalculating by not measuring, it's NOT calculating. Gas milage is the amount of gas used per mile, not miles divided by a guestimate of gallons, under the conditions that are existant. No one ever asks how good of milage do you get with a 30 mile wind behind you, or if you only go down hill....the only reason to ask is to get a factual answer by dividing the miles by the total number of gallons (miles per gallon), anything else is BS (or Pelosi/Read mumbo jumbo, all talk no facts).....Sorry I'm cranky tonight, I'll shut up before I really offend someone

This tank is only a few days old but I set a new personal record for distance before losing the first pip on the fuel gauge:
My normal commuting drains the first pip between 85 and 90 miles, and even on road trips it usually doesn't last longer than 104 miles. I'm anxious to see how this pans out across the whole tank.

Insert sarcasm here.

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.
