Either way 29/40 is the SFE, the super fuel saver. 29/36 is a stock yaris.

If there was SFE Yaris, I think it would surpass the Fiesta SFE.

The 29/40 is still pending EPA cert, says so on the site, even though it took me a minute to find where.

no, those are the official US Govt. EPA results as of May 17th, 2010

The EPA has finished calculating the fuel economy of the 2011 Ford Fiesta and, as the automaker projected, its new baby has hit 40 miles per gallon. The official numbers from the Feds are 29 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway for Fiestas with the new 6-speed dual clutch Powershift gearbox.

it has (as all ULEV and SULEV cars have) DFCO but with a more aggressive map


it is still a POS Ford though. I am seeing Yaris's all over the place lately (I95/128/rt3 belt, Ma)
so I know it won't hurt Yaris sales much in my area. peeps know Fords are hunks-o-iron.
