I love my little 1.5 litre Yaris but would have gladly paid a premium for the diesel. I drive about 40000 km a year between Winnipeg and Calgary to the west and Thunder Bay to the east. Hell...even my cottage (get there almost every weekend) is 230 km away in Kenora...

the reason I mention this is that if ANY MARKET on the freaking planet needs a diesel its right here where the next town is 200 km away.

I get 50 imp mpg on the highway but know the diesel could do better...

I am jealous.

I would like to hear what RPM the diesel is turning at 100 kph?

Umm, should be something around 1900 RPM in 6th gear.
In 5th Gear I think it's around 2200RPM, but I'll check that later tomorrow.



I really love the power of the small diesel. It's just an easy way of driving and the gearbox is much better than our Audi A3 (also in white of course ;) Next one will be a white Toyota Aygo next year for my mom)


Here you can follow my fuel consumption by the way:

Last one with 5,6l/100km was really fast driving, mostly within 5-10km. The consumption on long runs is way better!
