#7 of 345 Re: Toyota Echo: MPG-Real World Numbers [val61sf] by pulgo Jul 29, 2006 (8:12 am)
Replying to: val61sf (Jul 18, 2006 10:57 am) I also own a 2001 purchased new. The odometer reads 146k Miles and my average over the last 5 years is 41.04. That is mostly commuting to work, 40 miles each way, 40% highway, 60% city.   Lately the AC is on most of the time but the mileage for the last three months has been closer to 42 mpg.   It is in winter where it drops to 36-38 mpg.
#8 of 345 did a good by nippononly Aug 05, 2006 (10:23 pm)
long tank, finally filled up yesterday, and the little guy is performing like a champ: 439 miles and 10.5 gallons, which is close to 42 mpg (41.8 to be exact).   It just keeps on truckin' - I am headed up to Yosemite in it on Monday for a short trip - I wonder what the mountains will do to the mileage.
#9 of 345 not so good by nippononly Aug 15, 2006 (7:18 am)
results this time: 329 miles, 8.5 gallons. The exact figuring is 38.7, call it 39 mpg in my usual manner, still not the 40 or more I have come to expect.
#10 of 345 I am the only poster! :-( by nippononly Aug 24, 2006 (8:12 pm)
tonight's results: 391 miles, 9.5 gallons, so 41.1 mpg, I'll call that one 41. Love this car, even if gas has cheapened slightly - I paid $2.97/gallon tonight! That's the first time in AGES I have paid less than $3.   Also discovered a tire with a slow leak - dontcha just hate that? :-/ Replies to this message: pat (Aug 25, 2006 3:42 am)

Replying to: nippononly (Aug 24, 2006 8:12 pm) That's better than a fast leak!
#12 of 345 A/C vs cold weather by bottgers Aug 28, 2006 (10:33 am)
Many people believe running the A/C has more of an adverse affect on fuel economy than does cold weather. It's actually the other way around. Most people will only see a 3-5% drop in fuel economy when running the air, while cold weather will cause a 15-20% drop. Replies to this message: thegreyone (Oct 03, 2009 10:22 am)
#13 of 345 I detect by nippononly Aug 28, 2006 (4:26 pm)
almost no variation between winter and summer mpg in the Echo. It is a rare tank that falls below 39 mpg or rises above 41 mpg at either temperature extreme, a fact of which I am glad!   I think the slightly poorer mpg of the winter gas and colder morning start-ups is offset by the almost constant use I make of the A/C in the summer.   But then of course, I live in coastal California, so.......seasons? What seasons?
#14 of 345 fill-up time! :-) by nippononly Sep 06, 2006 (10:56 am)
The smiley is because even with someone ELSE driving about 100 miles of this tank (I lent the car to a friend), it still managed 39 mpg this morning at the pump.   360 miles, 9.25 gallons, 38.92 mpg. And gas is down to $2.90/gallon as well! The little car definitely went easy on my wallet this morning.
#15 of 345 a short tank by nippononly Sep 11, 2006 (8:22 pm)
this time, because I have a couple of longish trips to make tomorrow. So anyway, only 299 miles, putting in 7.0 gallons, which comes out to 42.7, call it 42 1/2. I think the pump may have shut off a little early though, so I will definitely average it with the next fill-up to get a more realistic mileage figure for both tanks.   And hey, $2.82/gallon means the whole fill-up cost me $20.02!! I can't remember the last time I filled up for $20, although once upon a time long ago that was what I anticipated at every gas stop.
#16 of 345 well you know what? by nippononly Sep 22, 2006 (10:21 pm)
I filled up tonight, 379 miles and 9.4 gallons, which I figured out is 40.3 mpg, call it 40 mpg. So, even averaged with what I thought was an unfull tank from last time, I got 41.5 mpg over the last 680 miles. Not too shabby...     Oh yeah, and gas is down to $2.69/gallon. The whole fill-up was $25 - any day now I will be able to fill up on a $20 bill again. Fantastic!
