Replying to: cohencoy (Jul 06, 2006 11:28 pm) 1st tank -- 30.1 MPG (100% A/C, 80% City/20% Freeway) 2nd tank -- 34.2 MPG (60% A/C, 80% City/20% Freeway) I've read on another Yaris forum that it depends on how you drive your Yaris. My Yaris prefers going 80 mph on the freeway. I've toned it down to 70 mph with some sections where I go 75 mph.

Replying to: apriljoy (Jul 08, 2006 1:10 am) I have a 2006 Honda EX Coupe, Auto trans, with Nav, and only drive the city. No highway driving period. I got about 25 mpg when brand new, and now get 26.7 miles per gallon with 3,000 miles on it, and use the air part of the day in a lot of stop, and go traffic. Was thinking of the Yaris at one point, but will hold off my next purchase until a better hybrid car comes along. Your gas mileage will improve over time, but its a dissapointment for those that are getting about what I get

Replying to: earth (Jul 08, 2006 7:20 am) When I'm driving around town and it's not too hot outside (over 90 degrees needs A/C during some parts of the day) I have the windows down. Once I get on the freeway I roll up my windows. I think one of the biggest reasons my MPG has improved was I used the A/C less on the second tank.

Replying to: apriljoy (Jul 09, 2006 8:59 am) Also the ethanol laced gas is a load of hooey. even if we are...which I seriously doubt...it wouldn't be that high of a percentage, so it would not be reducing my mpg this dramatically. I'm pissed and my dealership will be hearing about it until I see an improvement.

Replying to: cohencoy (Jul 09, 2006 8:18 pm) I think it's the nature of the beast. A low horsepower engine with an automatic getting up to speed with AC drawing some of that power is lousy for gas mileage. A more powerful 6 or 8-cyl doesn't strain as much in the city and shows less of a drop in mileage. |

My 1st tank in almost all city stop & go=27.3 MPG. My 2nd tank in ALL stop & go city-26.7 MPG. My car is the 3 door liftback auto trans. This car SUCKS with numbers like this! I also only used the a/c about 50-60% of the time. I DO understand summer fuel blends etc, but I want my "REAL" car back! Look for mine going up for sale on San Diego Craiglist! I am NOT kidding either..... Mike |

Liftback automatic: Driving in WI where gas prices are $3.17 first tank- about 33 mpg second tank- about 34 mpg third tank- about 33 mpg fourth tank- about 37 mpg However, we made the dumb mistake of driving in 3rd gear for about the first week, buzzing along on the highways. I was so upset at first until I realized our mistake (thanks to another Yaris forum here).
