When I go 55, the scan-gauge reads 49-51 MPG

i'm a new member and still on my first tank so nothing to report yet. it's really nice to see that so many of you beat the EPA rating on your cars. i'm coming from a honda fit, which like most fits, met the EPA rating but barely ever exceeded it. if you check the fit forums or fuelly, you will see that most people achieve the EPA rating with their fits. many of you here blow the EPA rating out of the water with your yaris'. i'm also an F150 guy and most fords don't reach their EPA rating (not that one should buy an F150 if they care about mileage).

so it seems like this:

toyota = better than EPA
honda = accurate to EPA
ford = worse than EPA (not just F150s, btw. there are lawsuits with the C-max)

i love ford btw, i'm not trying to slag them. it's just that they don't meet expectations in real world mpg

"WHY?" - i've been browsing this thread and you've been here since the beginning. nice work! good member.

i was checking gas prices the other day in oklahoma city, which is one of the cheapest places in the US, gas was (CA)47 cents/ liter, which, factoring currency exchange rate, comes to about (US)1.4765 per gallon. lucky b-----rds!

but we all know that it won't stay down forever. the only question is how much time before it starts the inevitable climb once again...

I paid less than that.....$1.4190 (US dollars) per gallon in Tomball, TX (a suburb of Houston) for my last fill-up on January 18th.

Few weeks ago I bought a brand new 2015 Yaris L 1.5 automatic. My job requires me to drive a lot so I had to have an economical car. After few tanks, I'm really disappointed with mileage. Usually 28-30 mpg with 70% city 30% highway with 90% in Eco mode.
Before Yaris I drove a Honda Fit/Jazz and I averaged 38 mpg combined in same conditions. Recently my rental was Nissan Versa Note; during few weeks of driving it, my average was 33 mpg.
