overworked, underpaid, and time in your yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

I just put about 1400 miles on my '07 Liftback!

My girlfriend and I took a trip from SoCal to NoCal, with a stop in the Bay Area. I drove about 3/4 of the time (she would have driven more, but I was happy in the Yaris driver's seat).

MPG was a little less than my normal ~50 miles/day commute, normally 36-37 MPG - Yaris efficiency drops off a little above 65 MPH and I didn't want to drive much slower than the speed limit which was 70 MPH much of the way, and with a passenger and luggage I was carrying more weight than normal - but I still averaged about 33-34 MPG US.

I was comfortable in the driver's seat, my surround sound music system kept us entertained, and the car felt safe (if a little noisy) at highway speeds.
