#264 of 472 Re: My Yaris 5sp hatchback mpg average. [fastrunner] by lhanson Jun 27, 2007 (8:17 am)
Replying to: fastrunner (Jun 26, 2007 5:37 pm) I would certainly like to know, and I am also certain that lots of others following this thread would also like to know too. As for you not being allowed to reference other webpages, I have seen many posts with links to sites off this web site, but I cannot recall ever seeing anyone giving someone else their e-mail address on this site. I think we need a ruling by the moderator. I have recently purchased and started using a Scangauge II, and that probably has helped me in getting a couple more miles per gallon, but I am still on my first fillup with it.
#265 of 472 Sharing info by pf_flyer HOST Jun 27, 2007 (9:11 am)
Links to other sites are generally OK, but each instance is a judgement call. It's one thing to be sharing info from another site, but what's not allowed is crossing that line to "promoting" a site that also has automotive forums. It's a fuzzy gray line and I know that's as clear as mud, but that's how it works. As far as email addresses in posts, we do discourage that. It's really an online safety thing. There are always those unscrupulous types looking for active email addys to spam. The best way to share your email address with someone is to mark your email as "public" in your profile and then direct forums users to click on your username to find it. That way only registered, logged in Edmunds users can access it and not any anonymous bots or nasty things like that!

Replying to: fastrunner (Jun 27, 2007 5:00 pm) So why not just post the web links now that the moderator has given the okay? The mpg numbers you sight are quite fantastic.... almost too fantastic to be believed! If it's just a question of driving technique as your email alludes to, it should be a most welcomed bit of knowledge by all the readers of this forum. I know I'd sure like to know how to drive MY Yaris to get 47 mpg (with less than 5% highway driving!!). Come'on now.... share with us.
#268 of 472 sorry.........cannot show other forums! by fastrunner Jun 28, 2007 (4:10 pm)
"It's one thing to be sharing info from another site, but what's not allowed is crossing that line to "promoting" a site that also has automotive forums" I would be promoting 2 other sites that have forums, so I cannot show them. Send me an email and I will send them to you. I do suggest getting a scangauge II, that has been a big help in getting great mileage. I also cannot list everything, and I do not have the time. I suggest you read on the 2 webpages, and over time you will do better!
#269 of 472 Sedan or liftback by salmonella Jun 28, 2007 (5:56 pm)
I am looking to purchase a yaris within the next few days and am wondering if there is any drawbacks to going the sedan route versus the liftback route? Will i get the same mpg? I know that I will lose cargo space and that really isnt that big of a deal to me as this is a commuter car for me.   If there isnt a big difference, would the liftback be the better buy as it will be about 1k less than the sedan? Are there any "must haves" for the sedan or liftback that i should be aware of? Thank you for your time and effort.

Replying to: salmonella (Jun 28, 2007 5:56 pm) The MPG ratings are identical. The liftback has more distintive styling than the 4 door and more storage space in the dash (an extra glove box behind the steering wheel). Are the two extra doors worth the extra money to you).

Replying to: salmonella (Jun 28, 2007 5:56 pm) Are there any "must haves" for the sedan or liftback that i should be aware of?   I would suggest you get a 5 speed manual if you are looking for the highest miles per gallon. I drive a manual 2007 Yaris liftback/hatchback.   Also, I would likely wait for the 2008 models. It is late in the 2007 model year, so your new car will soon be a year old. Just my opinion.   You might want to consider getting side airbags, many consider them a must have. I did not get them, and I have never had them in any of my cars in the past.

Replying to: salmonella (Jun 28, 2007 5:56 pm) You might want to consider ABS also. Test reports show the non-ABS Yaris has long stopping distances for this class, wet and dry. Much shorter with ABS. I'd also spring for the 60/40 rear seat. I've found that very useful in other cars, when I've been able to carry 3 people and still haul some long cargo.
#273 of 472 Toyota’s best kept secret. by jsoar Jul 05, 2007 (2:56 pm)
I bought a Scangage also and find it useful in showing where I was not getting the best mileage. I was getting about 44 mpg last summer when my Yaris manual lift-back was new. After about 7K miles of break-in and with the help of the Scangage I have been getting a little over 47 mpg. This is for my typical driving which is around 45 mph max on flat, mostly country roads with some stop and go. I took a trip recently on the Interstate and drove about 100 miles at 55 mph and got about 48.1 mpg for the trip on the Scangage. Coming back I drove 65 mph and saw the milage at about 43.8 mpg for that part of the trip. No AC either way, 10% ethanol, 85 deg, flat, no wind, just me in the car. All in all, I’m still very pleased. This kind of mileage might be Toyota’s best kept secret. Replies to this message: jcash2ds (Jul 05, 2007 3:43 pm)
