i know its been really hot and humid here this week and i used the a/c almost all of the time but i dropped 5mpg from my last tank. i even filled up at the same station the same pump-i think i must have driven differently this tank but i try to drive conservatively-i wanna hit 40mpg!!!!

In the absence of more details, I would like to think that most likely the one time low number is not your fault. It is actually not too low. Too many factors can affect the outcome of one tank. Please keep a long term record and look at the average numbers. You will be more pleased by that.

My average us up to 37 empeegee's...with no effort...guess I got a good "friday" car

bigdoglover · 08-23-2007, 08:22 AM

ok, here are the numbers from my next fillup-332.1 miles on 9.375 gallons of gas=35.424mpg. really drove conservatively-used the a/c very sparingly. this is suburban driving southside of chicago. typical lots of stop lights-a variety of speeds-no expressway driving. i can not see a way to ever get to 40mpg unless i throw out my rear seat-spare tire and lose my once in awhile passenger and lots of weight myself.

churp · 08-05-2007, 08:28 PM

I've noticed this hill/mountain thing also! Theoretically going up an incline conservatively you could get 25-30 mpg....going down is free...so you could get 50-60 mpg (maybe theory isn't real life,but.....), while driving 62 on the flat may only get you 45-50 mpg!?!? The little stops and goes are what drop you down. Wish automatics had DFCO in drive.....3rd is usable only on very steep downhills at 50 or below or for stopping.

OK... methinks I'm getting punked here...

I've had my Yaris for about a month, and it has roughly 1500 miles on it. I'm probably averaging 29 MPG, and this past tank, I only got 24. I use the AC regularly, and I know that hurts the MPG, but by THAT much??

In the absence of more details, I consider that your mpg numbers are a bit on the low side. Even the A/C should not hurt that much. Hope your next few tanks will be better. Otherwise, some further investigations may be due.
In the mean time, I would suggest that you watch out for irregularities when you drive, such as unusual loss of power, warning lights on the dash, strange noises, bad handling etc and take the car to service if you do encouter any problem. May be it is just a matter of "wrong" calculations

All the best!

For those of you that track your mileage (per fill), please post links to share with the rest of us. This thread has grown exponentially and now I cannot find these charts any longer.

Thanks for your assistance.

Soner · 08-07-2007, 02:48 PM

Well, I filled up my tank twice and here are the results:
1st tank 32.0 mpg
2nd tank 33.6 mpg

A/C was on 90% of the time in the first tank of gas and probably 40% of the time in the second gas. Also, I'm not sure but I would say 50-50% hwy and city mileage.

petesimac · 08-07-2007, 04:22 PM

Just filled up today after having driven 403.7 miles, 70% of which was hwy/suburban driving and 30% city driving. I took 9.881 gallons of gas, equalling just under 41 mpg.

Pretty good, considering that the a/c was on nearly all the time and considering that there were three people in the car nearly all the time. Still looking for that all city driving tank, just to see if I can get the 34 mpg they promise; because I know that I can get the 40 mpg hwy they promise, having gotten as good as 46+ mpg on a recent trip, again, with a/c, three people and a full luggage bay.

Oh, and I try to stay really close to the speed limit (no higher than 65 on hwy trips), using DFCO as much as possible,turning off the car at long stop lights, and try really hard to accelerate slowly and evenly from a dead stop.

petesimac · 08-07-2007, 04:23 PM

Re: the Lupo, I would have loved to have had that option, if it was as inexpensive as the Yaris to purchase.

Nigal · 08-08-2007, 05:11 AM

The Smart Car is part of the Mercedes Car Group which I assumed was part of the whole Daimler/Chrysler juggernaut. They will be sold here in the US the first quarter of 2008 and will sell from $12K-@17K for the fortwo Passion Cabrio. The listed mileage is 40+.

All this translates into...not close to a Yaris. :)

marcus · 08-08-2007, 11:09 AM

the smart car is limited to i think 130 km/hr.....max!! our goes to 200km/hr

daq421 · 08-08-2007, 07:10 PM

I've got 20k on my 07' and I'm averaging 34.5 miles per gallon (US).. I love this little car..

onara · 08-09-2007, 01:11 AM

My mileage is 39 MPG (6 Liter/100km) averaged over the first 4000 Miles. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, so lots of stop and go. I never go over 65 Miles (105 km/h) and I turn off the engine at the 5 minute red lights we have here. Modest use of AC.

I wish I could have gotten the Yaris with the 70 hp engine Toyota sells in Europe. I don't understand why somebody wants a car which tops 120 Miles/h in a country where the speed limit is 70. I must be very naive.

Interesting! Though I can certainly use some spare power for emergency, should any happen, I would welcome a more fuel efficient model too. I am hoping that the diesel version will eventually become available here. We in BC can see more diesel cars around than our fellow members in CA. We already have the diesel smart-for-two here

sherryberry · 08-11-2007, 07:23 PM

i still have yet to reach 40mpg. always 35 or higher.

Bredayaris · 08-12-2007, 05:57 AM

42,7 MPG and it didn't take much effort.
My right foot is very heavy, it doesn''t has to be hard to get 47 MPG with my car :)
