Yes, your calculations are correct. You must have the right formulae handy.

Thanks! Here is my appreciation . I am sure the guests/ members who pay visits to or post on this thread will find the link useful. In return, I would like to invite you to visit http://en.autos.sympatico.msn.ca/adv...tentid=4022932. You will find proof from there that our beloved Yaris is the most fuel efficient gasoline car available to us. Cheers.

Strange to my Yaris tho, it runs for 560Km then suddenly the fuel start blankin'. But there were 2 level left when I started the car, then start blanking after 1 or 2 Km, I think the reader is a bit off, but 18Litres put it over half a tank..... I heard the gas tank work as V shapes, so it drains faster in the bottom. Can anybody provide that information????

The Yaris should be the 2nd best gas only vehicle sold in the US. The first is still the Corolla.

Really? That is surprising. In the US, the Corolla is advertised as 32 city and 41 highway. The Yaris has been advertised as 34 city and 40 highway.

Which Corolla is advertised as 8 and 6? On Toyota.ca they are advertised ranging from 7.1/5.3 to 7.8/5.6, while the XRS is 9.2/6.4.

The Yaris is advertised as 6.9/5.5 & 7.1/5.8.

So the mileage is advertised similarly. The Corollas will get better highway mileage while the Yaris will do better in the city.

Of course the echo was the same way and people told me the Echo averaged about 40 US mpg.

Close enough, ha ha. Seriously, you could probably cannot tell the differences as much as the stats. unless of courze the differences is beyond 1 or 2 clicks per litre. For how light the Yaris is, I would think its less gas cosuming than corolla...
Anyways, it's all comes down to HOW you drive. If you floor it in the lights, damn stright the tank goes fast. If you inital your car smoothly under 2500RPM (Like myself). Tank will last much, and I mean MUCH longer.
*Keep in mind, people, VVTI suppose to start off slow then fast*

Rofl, anyways most echo owners I've talked to average 40 mpg US.

I've heard that Canadian mpg estimates are just as bad as the US one.

does anyone have any estimates of how long the fuel gage will "blink empty" before the car runs dry, just wondering if there is a small cushion for procrastinators like myself.

To be on the conservative side, my estimate is 80+km(highway) or 60+km(city). My observation is that if you procrastinate, at about 20kms after it starts, the blinking will become faster. At that point, you had better fill up.

I have run a few times with the bar blinking fast for a little while and when I fill it it takes 39 Litres. The tank I think is 41 Litres?

The tank is supposed to hold 42l but I have found out that you can fill it with one or two liters more than 42. It may not be advisable to do so though.

I am still not sure why my fuel gauge blinks after roughly 560 clicks(km). I though it can runs further than that... how about you guys????

It blinks on the last bar, to remind you that you are low on fuel. You'll definitely still get quite a few kms out of it on the last bar, although I wouldn't recommend that you stray too far from a gas station at that point.

ahh.. i see. because the first few bar seems to drop 70+/-clicks each.... so I thought the last could probably last just as much. hehe. if it did, which mean it can run roughly 600+clicks without refuel. Time to travel to a REAL good ski hill, hehe.
