COROLLA MPG CHALLENGE

[Ricky Rios]

Post year, trim level,transmission type & MPG EPA rating.

Fill up gas tank to start challenge & no topping off gas.

Reset odometer Trip A & B.

Drive until Gas tank reaches approximately HALF tank & divide miles with the amount of gallons it took to fill up to determine the mpg for each half tank.

Take and post photos of miles on the first half tank on Trip A on Odometer and fill up gas and switch odometer to Trip B to record new miles on 2nd half tank.

EXAMPLE
Trip A on odometer will display both miles from Trip A&B .
Trip A 261 miles took 7.1 gallons & Trip B 242 miles took 6.2 gallons

Trip A 261 miles/ 7.1 gallons= 36.76MPG for the First HALF tank
Trip B 242 miles/ 6.2 gallons= 39MPG for the Second HALF tank
503 miles Total /13.3 gallons= 37.81MPG overall for a Full tank.

I’ve noticed better MPG this way than letting it go all the way to Empty. Helps saves the life of the fuel pump too.

Try it out!

But how many miles you get half tank tho.

 

[klebinek]

I get 300 miles per half tank and 100 to 110 on the remaining half. Up until you get to the half it's very optimistic and misleading but most cars I've owned have been like that. NOt sure if it's related to shape of the gas tank and it getting slimmer towards bottom hence float drops to the bottom quicker as you're near empty? My apologies if this is incorrect since I'm talking out of my arse, at least I think that's how it works, unless it's measured by sensors which I doubt.

Damn, that's incredible. I've taken a new approach of driving my car. Since I bought it for a specific reason, save on gas - I should drive it accordingly. I've been trying to keep it in eco mode and accelerate gently, coast when I can. Once I've got it down, I'll do the challenge. Big part of it is self control, still fighting the urge but slowly starting to ignore other idiots and just cruise, surprisingly you end up being more relaxed at the end of your journey and you've only lost 5 min of time, if that.

wish i could carry a gallon of gas before I run out of gas but I really dont like gas inside any vehicle cause of fumes or an accident !
yeah, I get 350 miles on 1/2 tank , @ 475 miles light kicks on for low fuel and gone 510 till I pull over to get gas !

on street driving I do the speed required but on hwy I do up to 80Mph or more, now I wear shoes 245/40/17 on my Rolla iM,
its prety damm good on gas miles !

I do have to mention that I have a wheel on my gas pedal
for better performance, it helps !

[3ddie @rana]

never done the SPORT mode thing, but them I turn it ON ( 1 ) time and eco light kicked OFF !
I am sure that it will use more gas, I think !

any one outt there that can awnser the SPROT mode light on or off ?
will it use MORE or LESS gas ?!

Thanks

I've had two 5 gallon gas cans on my hitch rack, forgot how I set it up but you couldn't tell it was there among other crap I had packed. Best part is I didn't smell a thing on the inside of the car and had the comfort of not being stranded when driving from Chi to LA.

 

[3ddie @rana]

Chi 2 LA ?!
how many miles round trip ?

I drove from Austin 2 Los Angeles and it was 101 gallos on the iM round trip, plus some driving around
22 Hrs to LA 1350 miles one way, round trip was 3005 miles.
