#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)

Replying to: kipk (Oct 07, 2008 2:24 am) thanks kip,   I was mulling over between a Civic, Fit or Yaris (the Versa was shortly on the list). The Civic was on the high end of the price scale and the styling/look of the Fit didn't really appeal to me. I have owned two hondas in the past (87 CRX HF hand-me-down from father, which ruled and 91 Civic AWD wagon...so fun in the snow, but died an early death) so I wanted to try a Toyota.   I don't need a lot of space and I liked the way the Yaris Sedan looked, so I went for it. I wanted something dependable (Toyota) with minimal investment and the bare bones Yaris seemed to be the best match. Reading MPG reviews, the Yaris seemed to be on the better end of the scale with most personal experiences.   Looks aside (I'm not a fan of the hatchback), I like the idea of a trunk to keep some of my photo gear out of plain sight and having access to the backseat through back doors seems handier to me when dealing with gear or passengers.   So far I'm really excited. I am having to adjust to manual windows and locks, but it was a decision to see what luxuries I could live without I guess : )   I still can't believe the MPG. After my 1k mile oil change, I'm heading on a long roadtrip out West, so I'm looking forward to see how she runs.   Reading other experiences on this site was a HUGE help in my decision, so thanks Edmunds!   www.toyotayarisreview.com - my Yaris blog   Replies to this message: kipk (Oct 19, 2008 4:08 am)

#457 of 472 New 5 door Yaris vs Scion XD by frosty8 Nov 23, 2008 (3:01 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 8:44 am) pf_flyer (Nov 24, 2008 11:03 am)

Replying to: frosty8 (Nov 23, 2008 3:01 pm) I went 1500 miles on $125.00 worth of gas...had three fourths of a tank left upon my return. 08 yaris lift back Replies to this message: pf_flyer (Nov 24, 2008 11:03 am)

Replying to: jetfirek (Nov 24, 2008 8:44 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 472 Yaris MPG by familyman5746 Nov 26, 2008 (9:05 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.
#461 of 472 Re: New yaris sedan 5 spd [relp] by familyman5746 Nov 26, 2008 (9:08 am)
Replying to: relp (Aug 07, 2008 6:21 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.
