Default 22.2mpg v.WTF

YUP that's right my car got 22.2mpg since my dad has been driving it these past 3 weeks. that is a huge upgrade from 11-13mpg i was getting. i haven't driven my car for 3 weeks because i severely sprained my clutch ankle so i was sporting his auto yaris. you guys can see pix of my leg in my previous threads BTW he drives like a turtle.

If you mix turtle with v8pilot driving styles, maybe you can squeeze out 17-18 mpg...

Start at the bottom 1200 rpm shift, 1400 rpm shift, 1600 rpm shift, 1800 rpm shift. Cruising around town at 25-40 mph (with 4.10's) in OD. Highway speeds of 65 mph and below. Moderate throttle when accelerating and slow down way before the lights so you dont stop.

Nothing to it... 19 mpg city, 30 mpg highway.

BTW I average 22.5 mpg including beating the snot out of it at the track every weekend.
