Fuel Economy - Toyota Yaris Forums

I just drove cross country from Indy to DC. I almost squeezed 40 mpg (39.6). I averaged 65 MPH the whole way. In West Virgina, Pennsylvania, and Maryland there are some pretty good downhill grades and I thought that would push me over the 40 mark, but as most of you know, you have to go up the other side of the mountain and that eats the gas. Overall, not bad for such a hilly trip. On the way back I am going to drive 70 and see if that effects the mileage too much.
