The 10% ethanol and stop & go driving is probably costing you about 3 MPG. I would say that you are doing pretty good under the circumstances. Let us know how much you are getting when you start using the AC.

I have the airbags on my sedan and I get consistently 35 in a mostly city driving situation. I took a trip to CA and got consistently 40 with the A/C running and my friend who is a lead foot doing some of the driving. She was doing 80 to 90. The window sticker said 34/39 so I am happy.

I had a Honda VX and put 295000 miles on it and sold it which I really regret, that model would get 44 mpg on the highway all the time. I put it in neutral the life of the car to get better mpg and put it back in gear while rolling and never had any problem with the transmission. I have a new Civic now and do the same thing.I do not expect any problems with it either.

That's the highest I have ever heard of anybody getting with a Yaris, I thought that I was doing good at 38 MPG with mine.

If you send me an email, I will send you to a few webpages that will help you to get better mileage. I am not allow on this forum to reference any webpages. You can do better!

I would certainly like to know, and I am also certain that lots of others following this thread would also like to know too. As for you not being allowed to reference other webpages, I have seen many posts with links to sites off this web site, but I cannot recall ever seeing anyone giving someone else their e-mail address on this site. I think we need a ruling by the moderator. I have recently purchased and started using a Scangauge II, and that probably has helped me in getting a couple more miles per gallon, but I am still on my first fillup with it.

Sharing info

Links to other sites are generally OK, but each instance is a judgement call. It's one thing to be sharing info from another site, but what's not allowed is crossing that line to "promoting" a site that also has automotive forums. It's a fuzzy gray line and I know that's as clear as mud, but that's how it works.
As far as email addresses in posts, we do discourage that. It's really an online safety thing. There are always those unscrupulous types looking for active email addys to spam. The best way to share your email address with someone is to mark your email as "public" in your profile and then direct forums users to click on your username to find it. That way only registered, logged in Edmunds users can access it and not any anonymous bots or nasty things like that!

So why not just post the web links now that the moderator has given the okay? The mpg numbers you sight are quite fantastic.... almost too fantastic to be believed! If it's just a question of driving technique as your email alludes to, it should be a most welcomed bit of knowledge by all the readers of this forum. I know I'd sure like to know how to drive MY Yaris to get 47 mpg (with less than 5% highway driving!!). Come'on now.... share with us.
