Toyota Avensis 2.0 Auto Success!!2nd tank added 14/08/10

Hi,

Just completed by Baseline tank in My borrowed 1997 2.0 Toyota Avensis Auto..

Published EU figures are 31mpg UK and 25.73 US (Calculated as could not find EPA figures for that model- I dont know if you got the Avensis over there

and after 418.8 miles using 51.73 litres at £1.179/l (total cost £61) my MPG came back at

36.77mpg UK (118% of UK)

30.52mpg US (118% of US)

I have NOT been using any advanced techniques- only made sure the tyres were at recommended PSI (32)

I've just retopped the tank (to first Click and from the same pump)

so going to try coasting (engine at idle) to junctions- I have sevveral sections of my commute that should allow long coasts..

Fingers Crossed!

Second tank details further down thread
