I wanted to see what the car would get during the usual places I drive to around town for close to 250km. After being satisfied with as low as 8.1L I started to get antsy. LOL. The S54 and I agreed not to have Yaris acceleration/economy anymore. Just needed to prove to myself I can do good with this engine if I discipline myself.
That pic is my S54 screaming cheers to double of mileage on the odometer for the future!!
very nice, trevor - that is decent fuel economy!
i just reset my L/100KM meter before a trip from home > toronto > home again on tuesday - which is a mix of 80km/h roads, highway, city - about 400km in total, and i averaged 7.5L/100KM! i was stoked. that's 31.3mpg.

What's the little status bar thingy in the SMG menu display? Looks like a cell signal meter on a cell phone.
Shift ferocity. The SMG tranny has multiple levels of "ferocity" so it shifts faster/harder or slower/smoother depending on setting.Quote:

Big... on lowest setting it's pretty slow and smooth. On the highest setting, you could potentially break your neck when it shifts. :shiftyQuote:

I wonder if the USA will ever switch? I remember in grade school it was the rumor... Circa 1975.

My parents remember them attempting. And failing. It's really not that hard. Although I did a lot of math/science classes in high school/college....which most Americans don't seem to do.Quote:
