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

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!!!!

sherryberry · 08-11-2007, 08:23 PM

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

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

Bredayaris · 08-12-2007, 06:57 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 :)

Diesel versions enjoy really good fuel economy!

Well, I'm very excited here, since break-in period is behind ( I've gotten 1600 miles on the odometer), my mpg increased remarkably since I had passed 1000 miles. I'm getting 36.9 mpg, and it's entirely city driving. Awesome! I just can't get enough of my Yaris. Next week I'm planning a big trip to Michigan, which will be mostly highway driving, so we'll see what it will look like....

Feel excited for you and looking forward to seeing your report!

i dont get it im not getting the gas mileage as advertised on this car .. in canada 5.5liter-6.9liter per 100 km.. this car got 7000 kms on it and im still doing about 7-7.1l/100. 30% city 70% hwy. no a/c, perfect shifting around 2700rpm down shifting @ 2000 rpm.. running about 110-120 km /hr on hwy..I just dont get it..

1st bar = 110-120
2nd bar= 190-200
3rd bar = 255-275 this bar runs me the least fuel
4th bar= 325-345
5th bar= 400-420
6th bar= 480-495
7th bar= 540-570
last bar= average gas fill up from 38.5-41.5 liters

swidd · 08-13-2007, 02:08 PM

How about trying to keep the RPM below 2000 all the time? That's what I used to do driving manual...

Those are low numbers. Our car is an auto and I sometimes get over 140 on the first bar. The auto shifts really conservatively, I accelerate slowly and the rpm rarely goes over 2500 rpm. Our car will pass 3000 km's this afternoon, so I think our car still is getting broken in as well.

I'm not paying close attention to it, but I'm guessing that when accelerating our car shifts at 2500 and shifts at 1500 when decelerating.

We haven't gone over 5.6 l/100km consumption yet with about 85% hwy driving.

I do not go over 100 km/h and use the a/c close to 50% of the time.

Billstein · 08-13-2007, 02:12 PM

Do you realise that 30 mpg is about double what all the others get?
When people ask what kind of mileage I get, I say to date the best was 38.8883 and for me to get 30 mpg it has to be a bad bad day ,"air on, Me driving faster then my (normal 75) about 85 mph instead.
I use royal purple full synthetic oil, not the "dino made synthetic"
So with the low cost of the car and me being able to run the air anytime I want, and if I am running abit late and need to drive a bit faster with the air on and still get over 30mpg....I am happy as a clam "without feeling guilty".
So I have come to the conclusion if I want better mpg I will need to import the front clip from a D-4D and fit it to my girl.. Thanks for letting me rant.
Peace Bill

That makes me even more excited about this car. I havn't pushed it at all on my first full tank and I pulled down almost 43MPG

marcus · 08-14-2007, 11:47 AM

i want to hit 600 km b4 the last bar starts blinkin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MarkBen · 08-14-2007, 01:55 PM

I'd love to hit 40+ MPG, but I just don't think its going to happen. I've changed my driving habits a good bit, and after the first 1000 miles, I've gotten averages of 37.2 mpg and 34.5 mpg. The first 3 tanks were not so great 27, 29, and 31 (ish). Still, I am very very happy with mid to high 30's. I think my best tank with my Hyundai Santa Fe was 19.5 MPG. Its nice to fill up less frequently and with a much smaller tank.
