I did everything you describe in my recent 200 mile trip PLUS the rear seats were out with no load in the car and my tyres were inflated to the correct levels and I didn't average more than 35mpg for the journey (brim to brim fill method). If I'd have been driving inefficiently (over 60mph, late brakeing, not feathering the throttle etc) I'd be sub 25mpg for the journey.

In everyday driving I'm just about getting 30mpg now and it would be very easy to see sub 20mpg if I became careless.

So how come my car is so less efficient than your experience? Is there something wrong with mine?

Just thought. Doesn't a 2000 have a carb rather than injection? Could be a carb problem(?) Also check the airfilter is'nt getting clogged.....

It's only done 44k and it had an intermediate service at the Toyota dealer in April and they said everything was tip top.
