The fuel gauge in the Yaris isn't the most accurate thing in the world, and seems to be largely graduated at the upper end. As such it's hard to know exactly how much fuel that first pip represented but we'll know how well the gauge is doing overall in another 10 to 14 days when I fuel up again.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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...
