Fuel Economy - Toyota Yaris Forums

I didn't fully believe all of these 40+ MPG stories with 1.5L gas engines. I did little to build my FE other than watch my MPG numbers on my dash, and drive between 60 and 65. I averaged 42.4 MPG on a 250 odd mile trip on I-65 in Ky. (Right at 125 miles and back) I wanted to go faster but so enjoyed seeing the MPG AVG stay so high. I make this trip fairly often, so I'll soon have the chance to try for better. With these miles and a bearable car payment, I am glad I didn't go for the Hybrid.

I was also skeptical at first while I was deciding to purchase my Yaris. Once the Yaris was home and I was driving around, I verified that the very good fuel economy figures were true.
