When I bought my ECHO in the fall of 2000, I was bummed a diesel version was not availible. No longer! Now that diesel is selling for 20% more than gas, it no longer makes sense to own a diesel powered car. (that could change if diesel comes down) Add to that the thousands of dollars primium auto makers charge for a diesel engine means that the diesel option will never pay for itself! Its possible a diesel Yaris will come on the market now, but do the math before buying one! Amazingly, the good old gas version of the ECHO has become the fuel efficiency champion. I wonder will used ones go up in value?

361 miles on 9.954 gallons = 36.27 MPG I have been shifting earlier as well keeping it 60-65 on the freeway. Maybe things will continue to get better as I get better on the stick... |

I took an 800 mile trip and did about 60-63 mph on the way down, and got 47.1 mpg, and stuck to 55 on the way back, and got 51.1 mpg, in my 2000 Echo, manual, with 157,000 miles on it. I'm so proud of our little cars!
