Ken33f - thanks, will keep that in mind. :) I've done 90kms on it so far (since refueling) and it hasn't dropped a bar yet (still has all 8 bars!). Fingers crossed it will stay that way! I remember on my previous tank of fuel, it dropped a bar after only 40km! So, very happy as of now. Lunjiaow - I bought the car semi-new (3000km on it) less than 2 weeks ago and I got it fully serviced before buying it (same goes with tyres) and I don't keep anything extra in the car (just the car manual and the most I've had in it is my laptop and a couple of books for uni). :)

Thanks everyone for the replies! I managed to squeeze out 400km from a full tank. I've refueled with BP Ultimate and we'll see how that goes! :) If it doesn't get me more mileage, then I'll be switching it back to normal petrol (but since refueling with ultimate petrol, I've found it runs a lot smoother!).

Woah~ thanks for all the replies! :) But all that just went over my head haha.. Sorry, am not very well-versed when it comes to car lingo. I just know unleaded, premium unleaded and the e10 stuff. What's the difference between synthetic oils and semi-synthetic? Where can I get some of this lighter oil? Thanks again! :)

Thanks for the quick response! I bought it with 3000kms done on it. The manual says that the break-in period is 1000km. I guess the disadvantage in my case is that I don't know how the 3000kms were done. And yes it's a 1.3L engine. Wow, I'd be REALLY happy to get 550km or even close to that! I read that premium fuels might give it more mileage so I might try that out when I next refuel (which will be soon). Any opinions on fuel type? Maybe my car, like yours, will get better fuel economy with each tank. :) Thanks! :)

Hey everyone, I'm new around here and I just bought a Yaris Rush 08. I'm just a little concerned about the fuel economy. I'm aware of several threads floating around on fuel economy and was going to reply to one thread (but somehow have lost it and can't seem to locate it again after 10 minute so shifting through my internet history!). So if this seems repetitive, you have my apologies. One of my primary reasons for buying a Yaris was because it's economical and efficient in terms of fuel consumption. However, on a full tank of fuel, I've so far done 330km and it's down to its last bar on the fuel gauge. This seems like less than what everyone else is getting. I don't trash the car, I don't rev it up (max revs I've done is 2500), I take off slowly and brake slowly, I don't idle. I do a lot of (Melbourne) city driving and I also drive to uni and sometimes I catch peak hour traffic - is this why I'm getting less kms than everyone else? Just like to get some feedback and see if it's just my Yaris or if there are people experiencing the same thing. Thanks so much! :D
