Short Trip Yaris

WHAT fuel consumption could I expect to get from my 2009 Toyota Yaris YRS auto on short trips? The official combined usage is 6.7 litres for 100km and for city driving it would be about 8.0 litres/100km, but because I do many very short trips of 3-5km, I was wondering if my Yaris was using too much petrol. I'm only getting about 11.5-12 litres/100km.

You'd expect the fuel consumption to increase if you are doing only very short trips where the car would hardly warm up, but I still wouldn't expect it to climb to 11 litres/100 km or more. The city average claimed for the Yaris is 7.6 litres/100km, so I'd expect it to be no more than 9 litres/100km in a heavy stop-start, short-trip situation. Have your car checked by a dealer.
