Yet another Yaris... & Civic noob
Hello all.
My wife and I have a 2006 Yaris RS 5door, 5spd and a 2001 Civic 4door 5spd non-Vtec. We tend to switch between cars, so we end up driving both equally. I've always kept a close eye on the mileage I get from my vehicles. My previous best in the Civic was 38.5 mpg, and 39 mpg in the Yaris. I found this site last week through the Yaris site I visit and after reading through some of the forums, I started using some of the techniques on the Yaris the last few days.... About a quater of the way into the last tank, I started coasting in neutral on downhills with the engine on and using the 'accordion' style to avoid bringing the car to a stop at red lights (whenever I could) and keeping the momentum. Wow, I filled up today and my tank average was 42mpg. My commute is about 50km one way, 70% hilly 90km/h 2 lane road - 30% city. Next stop, Scangauge... Awsome site BTW. |
Sweet job dude, the effects are already being felt, that little car has some potential.

Welcome Frink,
I feel a Yaris competition building. Fill out the garage and gaslog info. :) It is very motivating. |
Hey Frink, excellent job, and welcome to the site. Don't delay on the SG purchase - you won't regret it.
(And where are you in Ont?) |
the yarii are taking over!!!!

The yarii have a while to go...Honda still dominates (a.k.a. percent above EPA)

Matt - time to do a new list! Number of members with specific makes/models. :)

My all time mileage record was 3 litres/100km or about 78mpg.... but that was on my XR250L motorcycle :) |
I'm on the St Lawrence, east of Kingston.
I once got mileage like that on my Ninja 250 (the Geo Metro of the sport bike world ;) ) . That's sustained cruising mileage, I should add - no fancy pants driving other than keeping the speed in check. |
