There is a thing called "wind resistance". Even if you can't see it, it exists. Any speed over 55mph and your really using a lot more fuel for little gain. Drop your speed to the posted speed limit and check back in. Also make sure your tires are at the correct pressure, nearer to the maximum side creates less friction.

[why?]

an even simpler thing, the roads in europe are much much better than what we have over here.

If you're talking Germany and the Autobahn, I agree. But Belgium, well I'm not even gonna say a thing :D

OP, can you not feel your car just about rattling apart? Anything above 70mph and I questioned the structural integrity to stay together in one piece...

If that's the case you might wanna check your Yaris, the last time I drove close to 100mph I felt 100% safe :D
