Ford Fiesta: 40 mpg Hwy - Toyota Yaris Forums

OK, let's go over that list.

Toyota Prius Hybrid - Hybrid engine, not pure gas engine
Smart Fortwo - As noted, it beats the Fiesta, but it's tiny
Honda Civic Hybrid - Again, hybrid
Suzuki Alto - 3 cylinder engine, model not sold in the US
Fiat 500 - Not sold in the US yet, though we're supposed to finally get it later this year
VW Polo - Not sold in the US
Mitsubishi Colt - Not sold in the US
Proton Savvy - Not sold in the US
Honda Jazz - Not sold in the US
MINI Cooper - That seems to have a better rating than the Fiesta, but here in the US they say it's 37mpg.

Also, the Fiesta has about 119-120 hp, and it weighs a few hundred pounds more than the Yaris, so all things considered, 40MPG on the highway isn't bad.
