Toyota's top tips for best fuel economy

Want to get the very best out of your ground-breaking Toyota hybrid? We’ve gathered a number of toyota hybrid driving hints and tips that will help you to get the best from the Hybrid Synergy Drive system, improving fuel consumption of Toyota and getting you further for less!

Our full range of Toyota hybrids currently includes:
New Yaris Hybrid
Auris Hybrid 
Auris Hybrid Touring Sports
Prius
Seven-seat Prius+
Prius Plug-in

Whichever Toyota hybrid you’ve set your heart on, the following tips and pointers will maximise the range and fuel economy of your Toyota.

The basics

It’s not just toyota hybrids that benefit from the first seven tips – these will help to improve any car’s fuel efficiency:

1. Clear out the boot! Keeping the boot free of unnecessary weight will give your car  immediate boost in performance and economy.
2. Check your tyre pressures – dig out your owner’s manual, and do a weekly check to ensure that your tyres are correctly inflated in line with Toyota’s recommendation.
3. Think ahead – by planning your journeys, you can avoid traffic jams and minimise the likelihood of getting lost.
4. Shut up! Closing the windows and sun roof at speeds above 45mph will reduce drag, reducing fuel consumption.
5. Remove unused roof racks, boxes and bike racks – they’re a real drag too!
6. Steady as she goes – maintain a steady speed and don’t go over the speed limit.
7. Smoothly does it! Try to avoid sudden braking or acceleration.

Drive Modes

Toyota hybrids have four drive modes: Normal, EV, ECO and Power. When you first start your hybrid, the car defaults to the ‘Normal’ drive mode, which automatically manages the most efficient use of both the engine and the battery. Drivers can also select one of the car’s on-demand drive modes to achieve better fuel consumption in certain settings.

These drive modes are: EV Mode where the car is powered by the battery only during city driving, running near-silent and with no tailpipe emissions;ECO Mode that reduces A/C output and lessens throttle response to limit harsh acceleration; andPower Mode which boosts acceleration by using the hybrid battery to assist the petrol engine.

The shift lever offers four positions: R (Reverse), N (neutral), B (engine braking) and D (drive). For normal driving, D (drive) is absolutely fine, but should you need it, position B has the effect of engine-braking handy when descending a steep hill, for example. It’s not recommended to leave the car in position B for normal driving, mainly because you’d end up using more fuel than necessary.

Read the road ahead

Another great hybrid driving tip is to use the car’s battery whenever possible. You can do this in town and urban driving by accelerating to your required speed, easing off the accelerator and then gently easing the accelerator on again. By doing this, you can activate EV mode – indicated by the dashboard light – which means that the engine has switched off and you are using the electric battery.

Try to maintain a constant speed and, as always, it’s important to read the road ahead. By doing this, you can reduce the amount of unnecessary braking and accelerating, using less fuel. Braking slowly and gently also maximises the amount of energy recovered by the regenerative braking system on the car.

See the highlights from the 2015 Toyota Automobile Museum Classic Car Festival

The Toyota Automobile Museum is a must-see destination for any car fan making a pilgrimage to Japan – but if you’re really seeking to experience motoring nirvana, you need to visit the venue’s Classic Car Festival.

While Toyota cars just rocked the festival with their exceptional dashing looks,other models also made attraction for being as comparative as Toyota.

Earlier in 2015 we saw dozens of cars of other manufacturers from around the world come together in a celebration of vintage motoring.Car fans of Toyota and others cheered

and clicked pictures of the awesome vehicles from every angle as they came into to cross the finish line.

Owners and their families camped out by their own toyota vehicles to answer questions and revel in praise for the tip-top condition of their pride and joy, or else mingled with the crowd to check out other cars, pick up souvenirs at the museum shop stand, or participate in the Road Safety Experience corner. There, children practiced crossing the road with proper safety precautions with the help of road safety instructors and a virtual onscreen crossing. The modern technology was offset by the retro food trucks making up the Food Garage.

Most of the cars taking off on laps around the pond ran with a charm that had people grinning and kids waiting eagerly for the next lap. The day wrapped up with both a sense of community between returning festival-goers and a welcoming atmosphere for new faces. Adults, children, and canine car-fans alike all looked delighted by the stories, information, and rare sights to be seen. The 2015 Toyota Automobile Museum Classic Car Festival yet again proved a fun, successful, and informative event, with a fantastic turnout of cars – and car fans – of every description.
