Fuel Economy - Page 85 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Goalie · 09-03-2007, 12:04 AM

All fuel here is like 10% ethanol. Unless you go WAY up in northern MN or WI. The E85 is like it says, at least 85% Ethanol. We went to South Dakota last summer in the 06Camry, got like a 3 MPG increase with the SD non ethanol fuel fill ups.

We still have 100% gasoline (no ethanol) here in BC. All my mpg numbers quoted previously referred to 100% gasoline. Well, may be not 100% because there are additives in them. I don't know the details.

Mohawk/Husky uses approx 10% Ethanol in BC.

True, I have tried Mohawk in my former car. Didn't give me good fuel economy and starting took a couple of seconds more to crank (may be for my car only). Otherwise not too different from the regular stuff. When I said "we still have" (Post #1591), I meant we could still find

First tank full, made it 377 miles till the last blip started blinking 37.26 MPG. 5 speed with AC on the entire time.

Sweeeeeeeeet

swidd · 09-06-2007, 11:40 PM

I got 43.63MPG on todays fill-up, tires at 41PSI, driving 65mph 80% highway. Was stuck in traffic a few times. Turns off engine at red lights most of the time.

I personally think that it is good to know how some of the rivals of the Yaris perform

. The Civic is a very strong rival but its fuel economy is not as good as that of the Yaris. Even the Fit is slightly behind the Yaris when it comes to F.E.

MarkBen · 09-03-2007, 08:42 PM

Yes! Yes! Yes!!! I had a trip to Columbus, Oh this weekend from MD, and on the return tank of gas I averaged 43.16 MPG!! I did mostly 65-70mph and 95% highway with no special techniques. Man was I happy. I have been averaging about 33-34 since my third tank of gas, with a high of 37 mpg once. And I thought I would never hit 40.... man I love this car! :)

flagmunkey · 09-03-2007, 11:31 PM

got about 38 this time around. i inflated my tires and used lucas. im gonna try inflating more. im also gettin used to engine braking. learning how to use that more efficiently..

bigdoglover · 09-04-2007, 10:32 AM

last tank i got just under 35 mpg-mixed driving but i seemed to be stuck in construction traffic a lot on that tank.

lloe · 09-05-2007, 12:15 AM

I average between 35-38mpg. When I started out it was like 32 then broken in I was averaging 37-38 but now I take the freeway to work(while running late) and am averaging about 34-35.

ECHOKnight2000 · 09-05-2007, 12:40 AM

I got the most mileage I had since I got new tires in June. When I got them my mileage went down. Not bad but certainly not as good. Today I managed 47mpg. Not my best but certainly better than 37mpg or 33mpg. yeah my standards are high when you hit 50mpg more than once

Of course the warm weather helps

BailOut · 09-05-2007, 11:07 AM

While E10 certainly dings your mileage it's not the end of the world. I've pulled several 50+ MPG tanks and my liftback has never seen straight gasoline. Both Nevada and California (the only 2 States I've fueled up in so far) are E10 year round and E10 RFG (reformulated gasoline) in the Winter.

marcus · 09-05-2007, 12:43 PM

i noticed that regular driving city full tank will get me about 580-590 km compare that to hwy drove to go fishing on one full tank 90 % hwy. its about 640-660 km assuming that last bar is 50km travel. my gain for driving on hwy is about 50km more... kinna odd where my old celica city wise is about 350 km and full hwy 550 km...thats 200 km difference..wow big difference..same driving habits. i even gunned my celica up to 180 km/hr at that camp trip; still got over 500 km on full tank.

BailOut · 09-07-2007, 08:03 PM

I've set a new personal record. I fueled up this morning with 8.453 gallons after 444.1 miles for 52.538 MPG.
