Gone are my days of solo commutes and light weight, and that shows in my trackable mileage.What that number doesn't show is how utilitarian my Yaris has become. 2 carpoolers 5 days a week, outings with my Little Brother on the weekend, grocery run and most errands by bicycle instead of car (this used to be one of my high mileage times as it's all on the mostly flat valley floor), much fewer highway trips to Sacramento (which was the whole point of me setting up all of the remote tools and equipment down there), carrying 2 mountain bikes or 2-5 snowboards or pairs of skis roughly 300 days per year, etc. All of that is much more efficient than solo commuting, and totally more efficient than any of it being done with a larger vehicle, but it does hurt the trackable MPG number.
