2010 MPG Stats - Post Them Here

[B-Dog]

I have been averaging about 56 MPG in mixed driving. In a 20 mile stretch in town today I averaged 75 MPG with moderate hypermiling techniques.

Trip to Reno Nevada and back to Seaside Oregon we averaged,
52.7 MPG for well over 1,400 miles. Speeds were 60-70 MPH with ac on a good part of the time, and used cruise control at least 85 % of the time mostly in eco-mode.

I expect a stock G3 to beat a stock G2 in two conditions: driving over 70 mph, and in the cold.

I personally rarely drive over 70 mph, and the cold weather hit can be corrected with radiator blocking and EBH, so from my perspective the fuel economy improvements taht Toyota has engineered this time around do not advance my agenda. In fact, a part of me rather sadly views the G3 as Toyota's answer to the new US EPA test cycle.

Of course, people who drive like the new EPA test cycle will benefit.

Why wouldn't you think the Engine & PSD changes would result in an improvement for regular highway driving?

I never drive over 70 MPH, yet my MPG is up dramatically.

I've decided I'm not going to bother w/ MPG stats till I'm done "playing" and documenting. Leaving the car running w/ A/C (a must in this heat) is killing MPG.

I would luv to see your stats with the A/C going because its more representative of actual useage during the summer months of the desert area users.

Most of the messages on this thread have been real world scenarios which is great because most of us don't do much hyper-miling .

Have you finished your third tank yet ?

I'll be interested in your *cumulative* results sometime in the fall. Or better yet, live up to your SMTD pretensions, and pipe down until you have a 12 month comparison. In the meantime I'll put much greater stock in the limited experience but attempt to control variables data of Bob Wilson.

Resetting the trip meter, I did a trip from Surprise to Tempe and back, some 'round-town driving in both cities, and then a trip to work. ~100 miles, and I'm at ~55mpg. A/C has been set to 78˚F if on, ECO mode about 90% of the time, and some time spent w/ the sunroof open when it's cooler. This is just a small window of time/miles, but it's a start to decent MPG.

I haven't adjusted tire pressure as the car has been sitting outside and the sun beating down on the right side tires makes pressure read higher than the left side. One morning when I can do an accurate-ish cold reading, I'll set to 40/38 and see if we had a difference. "Warm", I was already at 40/39 on one side, and 38/36 on the other (not heated), which means the dealer *may* have given me higher pressures

Halfway through first tank.

100 mile-no traffic drive back from dealer, plus some weekend errands, and a final 40 mile no traffic round trip resulted in about 52 mpg. Freeways speeds between 65-75 mph. 95% driven in normal mode with AC on.

This morning I reset Trip A, turned off AC (wasn't needed) and got 63 mpg on a typical commute to work. I didn't really have to work too hard to do this, but I was paying attention to driving technique, and trying to coast much more than I normally would.

With wife in the car, I will probably not do any hypermiling type stuff, and expect to get about 50 mpg. When I'm commuting by myself, it looks like I can stretch the mpg up a bit without too much work.

Hopefully when the car breaks in these figures will go up a bit, too. I might inflate the tires a bit more, too, I assume they are at standard PSI right now.

[Gen 3 for me]

Can anybody tell me what it will do mpg wise with only the driver at 70 mph on a relatively flat interstate with the cruise set at 70 mph with A/C and without A/C. Thanks
