Speed kills... But the Yaris is a FABULOUS hypermiling vehicle!!!! 4800 miles and I only have one tank below 40mpg!!! And that is still 39.9mpg.... I did a 75mile trip, same station, same pump... 9 hrs later because i knew that school starting would kill my mpg... I went to 4 stops of the pump... Well it must be off, because the 60+ is a lil too good... But I really did work it hard...
Well today proved it... My mpg gauge was reading 51.1 mpg a mile and a half from the elementary school... a mile and a half and 18 minutes later of bumper to bumper traffic and passing the elementary school zone with all the chaos which accompanies the first day of school... I was at 44.9 mpg this a.m..... The ride home I was able to get up to 46.6 avg mpg.... I think that equates to around 44-45 real world...
Keep at it... It's like the old question, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time..."
