This past week I broke my own record and got 46mpg!! Twice!! I was like wow! I wasn't even trying either. I drive a 80 mile commute every day (combined), I usually take it easy, I drive around 65mph, try to stay consistant speed, accelerate slow. I'm wondering if it may be the weather as it has gotten warmer, no not warm but certainly better than before. I wonder with such a long commute and spring coming I might be able to hit 50mpg?That would be cool, and I don't have a hybrid! Although I know diesel engines in Europe and other places get 60mpg, for the small cars there but this is a gas engine and that is pretty good for a gas engine that isn't hooked up to an electric motor.

Hahha yeah that's true.. For this region a 2-hour drive is almost considered a road trip!

I was not being too cautious with mileage the last little while. It was on average -15 degrees C for a few weeks here, on winter tires, and with lower pressure (about 30psi for better contact patch). I acheived 30.2mpg US driving 70 hwy / 30 city shifting at 4500rpm (the car is a little faster in really cold weather, so it is more FUN).
Last tank I finally toned down my driving. I started shifting at 2500 and really took it easy. I acheived 36.4 mpg (70hwy/30city). It's ok I guess. |

My first fill up was after 430km so about 8.8L/100km or 31.98MPG all city driving. I hope it gets better. I really want to break the 600km mark.
So WHY does your fuel economy get better? is it about gaskets and compression only? |

My Yaris just ticked over 1,000 miles. So far my average through 4 fill ups is 26.79 MPG. Mind you that the weather has been cold lately and I have been working 6 miles from home for a few months now. That is also 98% true city driving.

Fuel economy is trending downwards here - after todays fill up I got 28MPG.
Could have something to do with the atrocious pollution here ATM though - currently 6x "safe" limits, and more than 10x that of Bangkok - anyone that's been to BKK before will have an idea of how bad it actually is! :( |

I just put in Amsoil Performance Improver (PI). I bought a case of it for around $6.00/bottle (16oz.) You put in 6 oz to begin with, then 1 oz per 10 gal after that. I'll let yall know how it turns out. I can already tell it is getting overall a "buttery smooth" feel to the engine.

I reached my highest mpg to date on Wednesday on the way to work. 49mpg!!! I hope and wonder if I will break 50mpg when the weather gets warmer, I've read other ECHO owners getting that much, I even have an automactic so that's even more impressive. I was just impressed!

I got 35 mpg my first tank without doing anything special, other than not hot-rodding like a jackass. This is with mostly rural and city driving.
