I hope all these eco freaks and terrorists only jump into the Arctic ocean off the coast of Alaska. None allowed in Canadian Arctic waters.
Canada, at the moment, has more oil than it knows what to do with, yet when I filled up my gas tank last night I paid $1.279 CAD per litre ( about $4.85 USD for an American gallon). So there is no guarantee even if you have all kinds of oil that you are going to pay a lower price. Roy |

Mileage higher with AT than MT
When I bought my '08 Yaris with AT, I asked my salesperson what type of penalty in mpg I would get in buying it with AT. He said that both the 2007 and 2008 models were getting a slightly higher mpg with the AT than the MT. He thought it had to do with the engine computer being better at shift points than most drivers using the manual transmission. My mileage was 38-42 mpg right from the beginning (at about 55 mph). After break-in, I have averaged mid-40's. My dealer has said that the newer models were also giving better mileage with the AT than the MT. Of course, your mileage can vary by how you drive. Re: the woman who won the civil case against Honda because her hybrid didn't give her what the EPA sticker said! I bet I could get my Yaris down to 10-15 mpg if I had to...burning rubber, topping out at max speed on the Freeway, etc.

yea some of the best mpg's come from members who happen to own auto's. The Yaris auto is a darn good one compared to others.
The reason that suit worked is because the Honda dealers were doing some really shady unethical things with the gas mileage numbers. Making all sorts of impossible guarantees.
