how many times a day are you asked if your car is a hybrid? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Funny post - I have people ask about once a week if it's a hybrid. I chuckle when I explain to them the financial side of it...namely it would take many, many years (if ever) for a hybrid to catch up economically to the Yaris.

Um.
Yaris: 6.1L/100km
Prius: 4.4L/100km
Hybrids have already beaten the Yaris

Seeing as we are also talking about a bigger, heavier car with more room, this is about half the proportional fuel consumption.

Okay, I don't have a Yaris but I've personally only been asked if my car is a hybrid once. I do get from time to time what MPG does it get. I'm sure there are some people in their cars who might think the ECHO is a hybrid as it takes a similar basic shape of the first gen Prius.
