So i had the 2007 scion tc auto since Tuesday, and i have 375 miles on it and still the R has not come on. I had a 2005 scion tc stick, and I have never even got over 350 without the R light coming on.

Is this the benefit of having an auto....

MAN I WANT A STICK AGAIN.....


I just wanted to share my experience...I mean I guess I am happy for the good gas mileage.

Is that a typo or did you just get a factory freak? 375? Geez, i have a 06 auto and i get moderate 300's, but 375 seems to be a quiet a stretch. Did you do all highway driving?

I have a 05 5spd and my light comes on at about 315 miles with mixed driving, mostly city, on 93 octane.

wtf, mine comes on at like 260. gotta be easy on the accelerator, i suppose.

wow i go 240 miles wen the light comes on, but thats strickly city driving... think i should ease up on the pedal?

my '06 gets 300 avg b4 the lights comes on, with a heavy foot. maybe i should try going easy

I"m 19 and drive hard, not all the time, but i mostly shift above 3k... and as I said ealier i get over 300 b4 my lite goes on. I have a few mods too like a CAI, I know if you don't floor it constantly a CAI will actually bump your milage up a bit. Maybe you guys in the 200's should ease up a bit. I average 24-26 mpg in the city for the most part, except when I go on a rampage, which is above the manufacture's specs.

I drive mix highway and city and my light usually come on around 320-345 miles. I have an auto.

Well I got it filled from the dealer, and I am a record freak and I keep a notebook filled with gas reciepts and a record sheet, I am going to fill tom for the first time on my scion tc 07 and I at at 375 right now, and the R light still hasnt come on.
I am in break in period, but I know for a fact my 5 speed didnt ever get this high on one tank, no where near.....O_O

i think it's the electric throttle... if your on it on it... or whatever.. you're not gonna get anywhere faster.. you need to get off the a

my car has an auto tranny. i ran very close to 200 miles on half tank, when i drove the car from NY to FL keys. this is with a/c on (so obviously the windows were closed), a passenger weighing approx. 180lbs., rear of car loaded with 4 luggages, car running on mostly flat stretches of highway, in cruise control. this was when my car was stock, though i had the emx wheels on already that time inflated to 36psi (front) / 32psi (rear). i think it was around 65 deg F to 80 deg F outside, varying from dry to humid (affects intake air temp and combustion).

but if we talk about averages, and consider city driving (as in manhattan lol), apparently the mpg will be a lot less.

**just in case** you don't know yet, having the right tire pressure also helps get better mpg. when i ride my mountain bike with lower psi, i have to pedal harder on pavement and highly packed terrain, than if i ran higher psi on the tires. same is true with your car. just don't over inflate it otherwise it won't be comfortable for you and the car's suspension.

I live in dallas where it gets so freaking hot! but most of the time I leave my a/c off and I think that has a lot to do with getting more miles out of your tank.

But i still don't see how you could get 375 outa that with no light on either, even if you're still breaking it it. Unlimited77, is yours a 5spd or an auto?

You are going to see a lot of variation. The mpg estimates are just that, estimates. I average 24 mpg total, city and highway. That is an average of all tanks since about october of last year. So I see about 290 before the light comes on in town and see up to 385 on the highway. So that doesnt sound too far off. Mine is a 5 spd. If I am driving all city I get around 20 - 22 mpg and on road trips I see 30 - 31 running 75 mph.

I've been doing mostly city driving lately, and i drive very moderately, as i try to keep the revs around 2000-2500 in the automatic, and i avg around 22-23, getting 300 by the light is barely possible for me. Somehow, according to some of you guy's posts, i just feel like i should be getting more, lol, but then, i guess thats what scion advertised(22-23 city).

I checked my notebook and the last roadtrip I filled up at 417 miles.

Well i drove from Fl to Ga and the second time i filled up that tank took me to Ga and drove around in town my light didn't come on until 380. But when i'm home and doing mostly city with a little bit of highway i get between 300 and 310. I have a 05 5spd
