#445 of 472 Re: New yaris sedan 5 spd [pcovers] by kchaney Aug 24, 2008 (3:05 pm)
Replying to: pcovers (Aug 08, 2008 5:00 am) my wife also has about a 100 mile round trip and she averages 45 to a tank full. Out on the hiway our stickshift threedoor hits 57mpg at 55 mph! We got our Yaris on december 31, 2007 and already have nearly 30,000 miles and it seems the mpg drops when approaching the time to change the oil. This car has made us over 800 dollars over our trade-in and that's not including the maintainence I would have put into the other car. I had a 1978 subaru gf back in the mid-eighties and it got 58 mpg but it didn't have a/c, cruise, and it didn't play lynyrd skynyrd and as loud. sure does need a bra tho.

Replying to: lparkhill (Aug 24, 2008 6:43 pm) 9.8 pounds is awesome. The lightest I think I saw at Tire Rack were much heavier than that. Replies to this message: lparkhill (Aug 26, 2008 10:36 am) micweb (Aug 26, 2008 3:20 pm)

Replying to: lparkhill (Aug 24, 2008 6:43 pm) Go on line and check the weight of all tires...I have found the best tires are Michliin...last and are safe...but always check the numbers on the tires that tell you when the tires were manufactured......

Replying to: micweb (Aug 25, 2008 2:25 pm) I found these on Tire Rack, they are Enkei Racing RPF1 and the silver painted rims weigh 9.9 lbs the black ones weigh 9.5. I'm going with the silver ones I think they look better with the red paint. Replies to this message: micweb (Aug 26, 2008 3:20 pm)

Replying to: relp (Aug 07, 2008 6:21 pm) I have a 2008 LB auto, my first tank was 28 mpg but the engine and tranny were both very tight, as they "loosened up" my mileage improved now I'm getting around 38 mpg averaging a 60/40 Highway/city split, your 5 speed sedan should do a little better than my LB auto. If you work at it you can improve your mpg i.e. coast down hill, get a cruise control if you can use it and install a scan gage to help you learn good accelerator technique. When everything is said and done 39 mpg is pretty good, my neighbor spent $25 K on a Prius and gets 45 mpg, your money was well spent.
#452 of 472 Great MPG by smile100 Sep 05, 2008 (7:33 am)
I just had a vacation from Washington. I rented a Yaris sedan from Alamo. This car was great on mpg. The fuel economy is average 42 mpg (80% highway/ 20% city) with A/C on half of the time.
#453 of 472 47 MPG for me yesterday - 09 Sedan, Manual by shawn164 Oct 06, 2008 (6:59 pm)
i purchased a 2009 Yaris Sedan, manual about two weeks ago and went on my first real road trip yesterday (plains of eastern colorado). 332 miles and 7.05 gallons (47 mpg). I feel I lucked out with tailwinds, but I did not baby it, going anywhere from 55 to 70mph.   My first fill up (a little more than 1/2 tank) was 299 miles and 6.6 gallons (45 mpg), 70% highway, 30% in-town.   i'm stunned...   my Yaris blog for photos and info   Replies to this message: kipk (Oct 07, 2008 2:24 am) shawn164 (Oct 07, 2008 4:30 pm) kipk (Oct 19, 2008 4:08 am)

Replying to: shawn164 (Oct 06, 2008 6:59 pm) Shawn,   Interesting blog ! Looking forward to more.   Excellent pictures, and the way you write indicates professionalism also. Very nice!   We are looking to add a gas sipper to our stable, and still undecided as to which "Make" and be it a sedan or a hatch back. . Thus some questions.   You wrote, in the blog introduction: "After three months of homework, I made the decision to purchase a new 2009 Toyota Yaris Sedan. Take a journey with me as I experience what this little gas sipper has to offer. The good, the bad and everything in between"   What convinced you to purchase a Yaris, rather than say a Fit with more cargo area, or a Versa with more interior space? Especially since you had never driven one.   Why a sedan, rather than a hatchback?   Thanks, Kip Replies to this message: shawn164 (Oct 07, 2008 4:30 pm) kipk (Oct 19, 2008 4:08 am)
