welcome to the forum, classair - me and my wife will be hitting the road in a month: we live in NE Ohio and are going on vacation in Fort Pierce, Fl. I need to break in my Yaris beforehand ..... On my first tank of gas average mpg was 45 ---- 90% city stop and go (mostly stop) driving, so i'm looking at well over 50 mpg on our vacation trip. I believe EPA "sticker estimate" is BS in this case. My salesguy told me that hwy mileage for broken-in Yaris is about 50 mpg but Toyota cannot advertise it due to the fact that Prius , that costs twice as much doesn't even get that mpg as an AVERAGE ( city/hwy) figure.And guess what is the main reason for folks to buy Prius ?.......
I will keep you informed on my mpg readings
