Its only rated to get 35 highway and we all know how they fudge the actual numbers. So 39 rounded to 40 is all MY yaris is going to get...period. I do not believe and will never believe that anyone gets 45-50 on a flat open road with all highway miles. 40 in the city is rediculous. I live near Elizabeth City North Carolina, so if anyone wants to prove me wrong...come show me.
The only true and accurate way is to run all the gas out till it cuts off and empty. Then put in 5 gallons from a spare tank and drive till empty and cuts off. Anyone want to prove me wrong?
I have the car, gas, and gas tank.
ANY TAKERS?

Tampa is a busy city near my school, and I do not lie in my calculations. You should look at my last couple of tanks... Usually pull 45 in the city. Coming home today I did almost 49 MPG, but it is only a 10 mile one way from school to the apartment. Oh, and Florida is as flat as a 10 year-old's chest, and I have easily gotten over 50 on the highways... that is with no tricks, just driving slower. Oh, and I will take the offer, but will drive in reverse the whole week to make the MPG numbers more believable.
