Is the yaris best car for gas mileage out there? (in it's price class, of course) - Toyota Yaris Forums

I found the Yaris to be the best for user rated mileage. A couple of others had higher EPA ratings, but according to fueleconomy.gov more Yaris drivers seem to be hitting EPA and up to 20% higher.

Also watch out for comparisons against the Smart or Mini, as they are supposed to be run on higher octane fuel than the Yaris and the cost difference at the pump essentially removes any benefit from the slightly higher EPA rating.

Yaris also has the advantage in ongoing maintenance and repair costs.
