I still need to inflate the tires and I don't want to use the cruise control until after I break it in. I don't do things like accelerate when a red light is in front of me, but I also purposely varied my RPM when on highways/interstates to break in the car.
It seems like with even just a little bit of extra effort you can get some serious efficiency in this car. Nice.

Thanks for an HONEST mileage post. Most lie about TAXES and MILEAGE
In my 2008 Yaris 5-Speed which I drive aggressively 65 percent city, 35 percent hilly highway, I get a consistent 34-35 mpgs. I only use non-ethanol gas, any ethanol always reduces the mileage. I use the exact same pump to fill-up, and record the fuel amount/mileage when the pump turns off automatically! You will probably better mileage experiences after about 20K miles.
