36.8 mpg in town on my first fill-up for a manual hatchback. I was only down to 1/2 a tank after the initial dealer fill-up.

Glad to see your MPG is within the sticker parameters. Most people do not take accurate readings and are always overstating their MPG to make their car look good. I don't know how many SUV owners I have encountered that say they are getting 5-10 MPGs over sticker. NO WAY. They are just trying to feel good about paying $2.95 a gallon and only getting 15 MPGs...
Love the YARIS S!!!!

I have a Yaris Sedan-automatic. I got 36.2 mpg after my first fill. Mostly city and some highway. I have been trying to keep it around 60 on the highway. I absolutely love driving the car (and I am not a car person at all, so this love thing is highly unusual!)

We picked up the Yaris last Saturday. Took a 356 miles trip yesterday of highyway and city (70/30) and at the mileage came out at 38 mpg.

I drive I-81 in Virginia and if I drove only 60mph, the truckers would run over me. YIKES. The Yaris supposedly great crash ratings, but I don't want to try it out.

So, just don't drive in the fast lane and people can pass you on the left.

That may work for lightly travelled roadways, but there are many occasions where driving 10-20 mph under the prevailing speeds constitutes an extreme hazard to yourself and everyone around you.
Try I-95 along the East coast when the center and right lanes are choked with trucks that want to go 70-75! Cars that want to travel at 80+ are in the left lane.
I drive a sub-compact and my safety isn't worth a couple of mpg. Better to move with the pack.

If the speed limit is 65 or 70, I'd do that rather than drive below it at 60, but I won't do 80 just to keep up with everyone else. I just don't drive in the fast lane in that case.
I guess speed enforcement doesn't happen where you drive or you can just take your tickets and pay them. "Everyone else is doing it" isn't a defense.

Average mileage over the first 2,000+ miles and 2 months is 33mpg, mostly city driving on hilly Kansas City roads. Liftback with Automatic. Highest single tanks (twice) was 36mpg, 2/3 interstate driving. Kicking in to serious A/C season here, so not likely to do a great deal better.
