Fuel Efficiency and the Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

Amdkt7 · 02-29-2024, 06:43 AM

I have made no modifications, yet get 40mpg tank after tank. 2013 HB LE, stickshift. Mostly it is driving style. Coast as much as you can. Downshift to brake, because when engine braking the fuel is shut off. I accelerate like a rabbit, working to get to 5th gear. I usually go from 3rd to 5th. Once in 5th I then drive with a light touch on the pedal.
If I am doing 100% highway speeds (+70mph) my mileage will not be as good. The Yaris loves country roads that go through hills, as long as you don't have to slow too much for curves.
I'm at 190K miles. No repairs. Just changed the rear brake shoes, the front pads are still fine.
