What is the fuel average for a Yaris 2011?

The 2011 Yaris’ fuel economy varies by market, engine, and transmission. In the United States, you can expect roughly 30 mpg in the city and about 37–38 mpg on the highway, with a typical combined figure around 33–34 mpg. European and other markets offer smaller engines and often diesel options, which can push overall efficiency higher in real-world driving.


On this page, we break down the main configurations and how they influence fuel economy, then offer practical context for what you might actually see in daily use.


Market and configuration overview


Below is a concise breakdown of typical fuel-economy ranges for the 2011 Yaris by major market and engine/transmission configuration. Numbers are representative of official ratings and common consumer experience, but real-world results can vary with driving style, load, terrain, and maintenance.




  • United States — hatchback (1.5L 4-cylinder)

    Transmission options: 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. Estimated EPA figures are:
    - Manual: about 30 mpg city / 38 mpg highway; combined around 33–34 mpg.
    - Automatic: about 30 mpg city / 37 mpg highway; combined around 33 mpg.


  • Europe and other markets — multiple engines

    Engines typically range from 1.0–1.3L petrol to 1.4L diesel, often with manual transmission. Estimated combined fuel economy:
    - Petrol: roughly 4.0–5.5 L/100 km (approximately 51–70 mpg UK).
    - Diesel: roughly 3.5–4.0 L/100 km (approximately 70–80 mpg UK).


In short, the U.S. version with its 1.5L engine sits in the low-to-mid 30s mpg in combined terms, while European diesel and smaller-petrol variants typically push well into lower L/100 km figures or higher mpg equivalents, depending on the exact engine. Always check the specific trim and drivetrain for your car’s official rating.


Additional factors that affect fuel economy


Beyond engine and transmission, several factors influence real-world fuel economy for a 2011 Yaris, including tire pressure, vehicle load, driving style, air conditioning use, and maintenance history. Regular maintenance, proper tire inflation, and smooth acceleration can help you approach the official estimates.


For consumers shopping used 2011 Yaris models, it’s useful to know the exact configuration (engine, transmission, and market) to estimate typical fuel costs and plan budgets accordingly.


Summary


The fuel economy of the 2011 Toyota Yaris varies by market and configuration. In the United States, expect roughly 30 mpg city and 37–38 mpg highway (approximately 33–34 mpg combined), with slight differences between manual and automatic transmissions. In Europe and other markets, smaller petrol engines and diesel options yield lower L/100 km figures (often 3.5–5.5 L/100 km, depending on engine), translating to a wide range of mpg depending on the exact setup.


Bottom line: for a 2011 Yaris, your actual fuel average depends most on where you bought it and which engine/transmission it has; baseline figures hover around the low- to mid-30s mpg in the U.S. and typically better efficiency in Europe for diesel and smaller-petrol options.
