How the hell are you meant to drive the T-Sport 'Sensibly'?

[Boro Sera]

Hands at '10 to 2' on the steering wheel, wear a flat cap and a V-neck sweater. Yes, that should do it !

[sphinktar1988]

Sensibly - NO FUN

It is hard, but when you do you will get upwards of 46mpg like I did last week

[Dunix]

I took a trip to Rutland today, the missus made me drive 'sensibly', and I managed 45mpg according to the computer... how accurate is the computator?

[Ryan1985]

Not very I'm afraid.

[Dunix]

O well! What's the tank size (gallons) of the T-Sport?

[badboyts]

have you reset it since you got it? press and hold the trip button till you hear a beep then it will return to 0 and you can start again when you fill up. should be a little more accurate same with av speed

[badboyts]

55 litre

[Dunix]

55l, are you sure? It only cost me £30 to fill up with 3 bars remaining.

I have reset it :). Did it as soon as I drove off the fore court.

[badboyts]

yep 55lt.

[gar]

yep 55lt.

If you wanna drive a T-sport sensibly, drop out the engine and fit in a 1L one, from a boring car.

Let me know how much you want for the 1.5l,.

[R6TH M]

I was pretty sure it was a 45litre tank, the corolla t sport is 55litre

[sphinktar1988]

according to the magazine "car" its only 40?

[T V O R]

It a 45 litre tank in the Yaris...

and 42 in the new one

I didn’t use the trip computer, but its good to reset it on each re-fuel.

I filled up at one remaining bar (38 litres of fuel in) and divided the miles I had done on that tank by the amount of fuel put in, worked out at 46mpg

[jd26]

45 litre sounds more like it. its only a tiny tank, i go through a full tank like water sometimes.

It is accurate if you reset it after every refill........Kingo

hehe :D Not entirely sure!

It is possible though - Today I did approx 240 miles, I drove pretty sensibly there and on the way back, for most of the time I could find I lorry, I'd slipstream behind it as close as I would dare from their rear bumpers. They're pretty easy as they sit dead at 60mph and don't go faster or slower & only pull into the middle lane when people join the motorway etc (unless your behind an empty one, and they overtake the full ones!) but just follow them, like your an extension of the trailer!

Averaged just over 62mpg and did the whole 240miles on half a tank! hooray :-D That's BETTER than a Prius could do, on a motorway :D

There's plenty of other times I've done the journey a wee bit faster... to say the least :o

As for fuel capacity, you can drive with the last bar on the fuel guage, and once that disappears (i.e. NO BARS AT ALL) you can do another 20+ miles on that, if you're careful and then fill up! - I generally fit around 42 litres in, when I fill it :) the car instruction manual says the fuel light will flash once it gets really empty.. I've never dared to see this though, and lose my bottle & fill up beforehand!! :D

[jd26]

oh and the answer to the original question is.....

''YOU DONT'' :)

I had 1.8 gallons left in mine with 1 bar and a steady low fuel light.

I may push it further next time :D
