Lot of catalytic converters were getting sawed out and stolen here the last few years. Toyota trucks were the most popular to hit.

Think I figgered it out. I was driving the car 6 miles to work and back when I was getting the 36 mpg. Then I was in and out of the hospital for 3 1/2 months. Instead of driving 6 miles to work I was going like 1 or 2 miles to the store or on errands. Maybe more than that but nowhere near 6 miles. so the mileage REALLY dropped. Now that Im working again Im back to 6 miles a pop and 36 mpg. YEAH!

That's it. I get about 35 MPG when all I'm doing is my 7-8 mile, mostly in-town drive to work and back.

seems like most YARIS have overall gas average of 36 m.p.g. .

Yes sir, wherever "the situation" is at that particular moment is the good part of jersey.

I was 4 miles from work then recently moved 2 miles closer and my first tank was 26 mpg and I babied it.

yeah, the yarii epa estimated 29/34 is BS imo. I've only hit 29mpg once, and that was over a 100 mile stretch of going up to and back down from 118 to 65.

My 07 estimate is 34/40 and that's what I've about always gotten, well slightly less than actual. I get 36/42, and most others on here do better than me :)

"go wind the crap out of it, run some Techron or BG-44k thru a tankful.
(only these 2 products, all others are junk) "

Uh... advertise much? Where's your proof that all others are junk? BG-44k is what I deem good, but I also like Lucas products.

I don't understand how you can say so matter of factly that all others are junk.
