#457 of 465 New 5 door Yaris vs Scion XD by frosty8 Nov 23, 2008 (4:01 pm)
Looking to buy soon and was wondering how everyone felt about these 2 similar cars. What kind of actual gas milage is everyone finding?. How does the quality of the cars inside and out compare. Have they fixed the AC smell with the Yaris yet? Replies to this message: jetfirek (Nov 24, 2008 9:44 am) pf_flyer (Nov 24, 2008 12:03 pm)

Replying to: jetfirek (Nov 24, 2008 9:44 am) What kind of mileage does that work out to? How many gallons of gas over those 1500 miles? If your price of gas was $2.50/gal then you got 30MPG. But if the price was $2, then you're talking about a range of 24-25mpg.
#460 of 465 Yaris MPG by familyman5746 Nov 26, 2008 (10:05 am)
I've got almost 30k miles on my 2008 Yaris and have averaged 38mpg. I use a few of the "hypermiling" techniques to increase my mileage. Got 1 tank of 47 mpg.

Replying to: relp (Aug 07, 2008 7:21 pm) 45 is kind of flukey. I hypermile and have only gotten 5-6 tanks over 40 mpg. Keep the rpms under 2500 and do more coasting to stops. I don't use the cruise control very much and "pulse and glide"   Check out www.cleanmpg.com for more tips.
#462 of 465 Agree anything past 37 is flukey by micweb Nov 26, 2008 (10:53 am)
I am a VERY easy driver with an easy commute. I practice gas saving techniques - I hate to call them hypermiling since Popular Mechanics wrote articles on the basic techniques back in the '60's when I was growing up - and averaged 37-38 mpg on my Yaris LB, which was much better than the 34-35 on my Scion xA (although they had the same engines), both with stick shifts. I would have loved to have seen more than 38, but the only car that ever did that was my Honda Fit, which hit 39 once and 40 once, but honestly I think more due to slight fill variations than anything else.   That having been said, if there was a contest and a place to drive a constant 50 mph with no hills or declines, I think the higher ranges are within the capability of those engines in those light vehicles.   It's a shame that the Scion, Fit, Yaris are still geared for rapid freeway pickup in 5th, instead of making 5th a true overdrive as on the latest Focus and Cobalt - but I guess they are afraid of complaints from drivers who might have to downshift to 4th for passing or hills, or complaints from slowdowns while in cruise control mode.

Replying to: solarjeep (May 25, 2006 8:40 am) How did your back feel? I drive 900 miles a week in a Yaris . I am not obese and I need a chiropractor often!! Replies to this message: jetfirek (Dec 10, 2008 6:41 pm)

Replying to: CARPLUV (Dec 10, 2008 6:12 pm) I find my Yaris 3 door liftback seats most comfortable. We drove 1500 miles and did not have back problems...and we are almost 70....Our Yaris is an '08 -have they improved the seating? And could it be something else bothering you ? Or perhaps your roads are not good? Just wondering....
