Fuel Economy - Toyota Yaris Forums

onara · 08-09-2007, 02:11 AM

My mileage is 39 MPG (6 Liter/100km) averaged over the first 4000 Miles. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, so lots of stop and go. I never go over 65 Miles (105 km/h) and I turn off the engine at the 5 minute red lights we have here. Modest use of AC.

I wish I could have gotten the Yaris with the 70 hp engine Toyota sells in Europe. I don't understand why somebody wants a car which tops 120 Miles/h in a country where the speed limit is 70. I must be very naive.

Interesting! Though I can certainly use some spare power for emergency, should any happen, I would welcome a more fuel efficient model too. I am hoping that the diesel version will eventually become available here. We in BC can see more diesel cars around than our fellow members in CA. We already have the diesel smart-for-two here
