First, hybrid car in general and this one in particular are optimized for city driving. Yaris hybrid is known in USA as Prius c (I guess c for city).

Second, Euro fuel efficiency tests are too optimistic and not real life. US EPA tests are closer to real life. Fuelly is as real life as it gets.

Be warned, this forum is very hostile toward hybrid cars. Too many folks here have a chip on their shoulder.
