Yaris Hybrid Hypermiling

[orangezorki]

Hello all,

I've had my Yaris Hybrid for over a thousand miles now, and am getting somewhere in the region of 59mpg. Not too bad, but that is with a genuine change to my driving habits, including a severe allergy to braking and constantly monitoring the energy flow diagram on the screen. I've kept my tyres slightly above the recommended pressure, rarely use the air conditioning, and try to keep the car as empty as possible. I'm sure that there will be a bit of a gain over the next few thousand miles, but I'm trying to get the most I can out of it.

I have read a decent amount about how to hyper mile a prius, but there is nothing out there on a Yaris. Anyone know what the best tactics are?

For example:

1. Where the best throttle position is for a Pulse 'N' Glide?

2. How to achieve a true glide. I always seem to be see-sawing between motor and regen.

3. The best tactics for faster speeds on motorways.

Any help greatly appreciated!

David
