i really think youre getting what the yaris gets on teh highway doing the speed youre doing

frig, i got 42mpg on my first tank, but a did a road trip at 45mph on back roads to do it

i consistently get 36mpg city in the summer and only about 38 or 40 on the higway....depending on how fast i go

i find the yaris is SUPER sensitive about mileage depending on the speed youre going....just the gearing and wind resistance.....at 70mph youre doing like 3400rpm in a 5spd....right?

no idea, I don't have a tach :( That's one of the main reasons I have been thinking of getting a scangauge, just to get a tach so I can be sure I am in DFCO.

Dropping your speed and going light on the gas is about the best thing you can do at this point, as well as pumping up your tires and installing a grill block.

I used to complain about getting between 34-37mpg while driving at around 70-80mph, and only once I dropped down to 60mph did I notice a significant difference in my MPG.

If I can drive 50mph on the California 110, I-5 and 405 during rush hour, which are some of the fastest-moving, most congested and aggressive roads on the US, I am sure you could drop your speed down a notch. The whole point of driving "well" and economically is being aware of what is occurring around you. Pay attention to those behind you and you should be fine.
