Yaris Sedan Mileage Report by psulions

The best you are going to do at 55mph on the highway without wind and hills is high is 38-40mpg. DO NOT TRY TO GO 8O and expect great mileage! The car is blunt in front and the drag is exponentially higher at higher speeds. Regardless, I still got 33mpg.
 
I'm getting 35 in the city. Love this little car. More headroom than my accord!
 
The one thing I don't like is the way the transmission upshifts automatically when coasting down a hill at higher speeds. Other than that I am very happy. I spent 8 hours in the car last week on a long road trip and it was pretty comfortable. Really quiet too for a smaller car.
 
I paid 14,500 for a 07 Sedan automatic with the upgraded interior. (HD heater, power, cruise, carpet, mats, 15" tires yada yada)
 
Total cost of ownership is very very good if it holds up.
 
Later!

How in the world are you doing it! You must be pissing off everyone behind you and running red lights.

Anyone driving a Yaris carefully can achieve this kind of mileage.

I disagree with your comment that 41 mpg is easy to hit.
 
But I'm an easy driver, and with my Yaris I easily hit 38 mpg ALL THE TIME on my 40 mile freeway commute during the commute hour (in other words, some slow and go sections).
 
On the other hand maybe our numbers are very close, since I live in Cali and we use 10% ethanol in our gas, which is supposed to knock mileage down by 10% - almost exactly the spread between our two numbers.

It is hard to convince my wife to let me use her Yaris (AT) but I have used it for 4 weeks in the last 3 months and my average is 42.3 MPG.
 
I have a 40 mile commute, 50% highway, 50% stop and go.
 
I am sure that in summer the numbers will improve quite a bit.

I'll buy between 38 and 42. People getting mileage in the 50's are driving miss daisy and pissing off other drivers. Either that or someone is towing them behind an SUV.

My 2007 Yaris with AT gets 34 mpg. I have tried a K&N air filter, synthetic oil, and max tire pressure with little improvement. I drive 65-70 mph and mostly highway miles in light traffic. My spacious, quiet and comfortable 2000 Camry gets over 30 mpg, so this car is a disappointment so far.

I went on a long trip out of town a few weeks ago. At 80 I got 33mpg. I can tell you that if you keep it under 60 you will do significantly better.
 
I get your drift though....I have a 4cyl Honda sedan getting 30 at 80mph.
