Replying to: psulions (May 22, 2008 4:41 am)  ). I am pretty sure it has to do with gas prices getting close to $4.00 a gallon, and drivers realizing that speeding uses more gas than not speeding. Like most small-engined cars, I expect the best way to get high mpg out of the Yaris is to drive it moderately, keeping the revs and speeds down as much as possible. And as with any car, the more your foot is not on the gas pedal (i.e. coasting or using a very light touch), the less gas you'll use. No rocket science involved there. |

Replying to: psulions (May 22, 2008 4:41 am) blah, blah, blah.......I choose to live normally. Stay over to the right if you don't like me in your mirrors." blah, blah, blah... If you think 5mph over the posted limit locally, and 65 on Express Ways is to slow, you can pass, pick another route, or leave at a different time. Makes no difference to me if you are in my mirrors. Get too close and you WILL slow down or have to pick one of the above.. As I said before: I don't let other drivers dictate how I drive. That includes you! Interesting that you drive an eccono box, but you don't have the ability to meet it's potential. Obviously for you, that is normal.  Kip

Replying to: kipk (May 23, 2008 3:55 am) I'd rather meet my potential on a macroeconomic scale keeping in mind the value of time, not to mention my health. See your rear bumper later! |

Replying to: psulions (May 23, 2008 10:30 am) What makes you think I'm a hyper miler? Those guys are real professionals and dedicated. I'm not.  Actually my driving style is very relaxing. I used to drive like you when I was young and foolish. Now it is actually somewhat humorous watching your type getting wound tight, jockeying for position, burning unnessary fuel, sliding up to every stop, weaving in and out of traffic. Now that has to be stressfull. This morning, Saturday, I will again be involved with inexperienced people wanting to purchase and learn to shoot hand guns. Some will "Think" they already know it all. Those that are in too much of a rush to "Learn Safely" will be dismissed! That is somewhat stressfull . At the end of the day I will get into my car for a RELAXING drive home.  Kip

Replying to: psulions (May 26, 2008 11:40 am) My driving style is quite relaxing for me, and the fuel mileage is above average. I'm a happy camper. There is nothing to argue about. The folks not satisfied with 5 mph over the speed on local roads and 2 lane highways, are welcome to go as fast as they like. But not at my expense. Same for those that wish to go more than 65 in the right lane, on the freeway. Very obvious that you are one of those people, If not you wouldn't be so obsessed with my mirror. Kip |

Is the right place to get an ideal about the mpg for the Yaris?

"Is the right place to get an ideal about the mpg for the Yaris?" Yes. They are capable of very good mileage and are inexpensive to boot. I would suggest a manual over the automatic. I think it is easier to get good gas mileage with a small engine when a manual is attached to it.
