Hi boarder4life. We have speedlimits in Town's at 30 miles, country roads at 50- 55 miles, and on highways it's 70 and some places 80 miles.

I have many small trips around town, postoffice, groserystore, library etc. with lots of traffic lights, and then some days with longer commutes.

I think, that the problem for now is the winter. Sub zero temperatures, many coldstarts etc., combines with a 10 yo old car that are in for a tune up. Also the wintertires, are doing no good for milage. Too much resistance I think.

Also the 1,0 L enginge in the Yaris (Vitz) has i't main tourque at 3800 RPM's, so you have to be very carefull, not to press to hard on the speeder, which will do nothing at all, except decrease milage.

Everything has to happen on the first ½ inch of the speeder, if one wants god milage
