Replying to: highmiler650 (May 05, 2008 8:52 am) But I'm an easy driver, and with my Yaris I easily hit 38 mpg ALL THE TIME on my 40 mile freeway commute during the commute hour (in other words, some slow and go sections). On the other hand maybe our numbers are very close, since I live in Cali and we use 10% ethanol in our gas, which is supposed to knock mileage down by 10% - almost exactly the spread between our two numbers.

Replying to: mhanson (May 06, 2008 9:43 am) I get your drift though....I have a 4cyl Honda sedan getting 30 at 80mph. |

Replying to: mhanson (May 06, 2008 9:43 am) My Echo, with the predecessor engine to the Yaris, and an automatic, only got 30 mpg. 34 mpg is pretty darn good. Most of my manual transmission cars hit 30 mpg, not 34, and when one of my cars does better than 30 I'm really happy. In other words, I take your post as an accolade not a disparagement. |

Replying to: psulions (May 06, 2008 4:09 am) I disagree with the above. I do not have a Yaris, but I am easily able to get into the 35-38 MPG range with an '07 Accord 4-cyl automatic on my commute. My commute is 15 miles one way consisting of 1/3 city, 2/3 highway. I pretty much drive at the speed limit on all roads. Occasionally someone will get anxious because I accelerate slower than most. It comes down to getting feedback while driving, a Scangauge II in my case, in order to adjust your driving habits. I am what most consider a hypermiler. I do not shut the engine off while driving though. Most of the techniques are very easy to learn and use and take a couple of weeks to master. I am confident I could push a manual Yaris into the 50mpg range doing what I do now in my Accord. |
