@Misha – There are a number of variables that come into play. Here’s a start …

What is the distance of your average commute each way?
How much highway vs. city?
How much time do you spend in bumper-to-bumper traffic?
How fast do you generally drive on the highway?
How much time do you spend idling?
How heavy is your foot?

I bought an 06′ Xb last week and it only gets 22 mpg… I love everything else about it but the gas mileage is terrible. I bought it from a Toyota dealership and they keep telling me nothing is wrong with it…Can anyone tell me why its getting such horrible gas milage? I want to keep it

I’ve had a 2005 tC for almost 4 years now and have been diligently keeping track of the mileage. I posted my results on my blog at – http://perendinate.com/2008/12/15/2005-scion-tc-actual-gas-mileage-dataanalysis/

I leased a tC ‘automatic’ in 2005. The car is a hoot to drive and I used up the 45000mi allowance quickly. I leased a 2007 tC ‘automatic’ and again, the mileage thing. Toyota is GREAT to deal with, my payment went up ONLY $2/mo (NO out of pocket money)!! I’m BUYING a 2009 tC this month.

AWESOME car!!! LOVE the sporty looks and handling, practicality of the hatchback, glass roof and HUGE sunroof, auto up/down windows on BOTH doors, etc, etc. Mileage is consistant at 25/29city, 31/hwy. Other than crappy tires, NO problems with either.

I have a 2005 Scion xA and the gas mileage just keeps getting better with age! I now regularly get 40+ mpg on the highway and 30+ in town.

I bought a 2005 XB, and have never gotten less than 35-36 MPG. Sometimes I’ve gotten 40. Love the 05; don’t like the 08.
