A normally driven AT Yaris will even beat a normally driven MT Fit on hwy driving because of the poor gearing configuration made by Honda. |

I like the gearing of the Yaris, but I think the Fit is geared to provide more torque from such a small engine...

I wish Honda would have offered the smaller engines here before Toyota and then this entire discussion would be moot and the Fit would be the clear FE winner. Either way, you're lucky because you get to drive a Fit and it suits your needs. I would love to drive a Honda over a Toyota, but I couldn't justify the huge price difference and lower FE when it was time to make our purchase. |

I'll see your 42 and raise you one....three times in a row. On my first tank eight months ago I only got 35.6 MPG. Through mods and DFCO my numbers are now upside down, 39 highway keeping up with traffic and cruise set to the posted limit, and 43 MPG in town using DFCO and cruise set to the posted limits. The next mods I try will be a PTFE fuel/octane treatment and some oil treatments. The goal is 40 highway/44 city. At 15,000 miles it's almost broken in. Considering their durability, I define a Toyota fully broken in at 20,000 miles and some of them I've driven 250,000 miles on the way to the bone yard.

One month above 40 MPG. More than four tanks were used in the calculation. Gotta love 5w-20 plus not having to use AC.

42mpg
I have an Afe filter, TRD exhaust,and AMSOIL synthetic oil. 43 mpg highway with speeds around 65-75 on the open road. Around town it varies, especially with my 215-40-17s on. With the car lowered, TRD suspension, and a short shift its to fun to care about MPGs. Over all I love the little "jelly bean". I call it my "wyz" car, the people waiting for the smart car are missin out! Very fun to Autocross too!

Still trying to break 35 mpg here...

I found out that when I was using tires with 23.9 in in diameter I was getting 40-45 mpg (OEM) Now I'm using 23.0 in diameter tires and I'm getting 34-38 mpg
And if we take in consideration that my tachometer is off by almost 3% then mpg are some where in 32-36 mpg. So I'm guessing that some of the yaris owners who are using 14 in wheels and / or other tire size that the diameter is around 23 inches then this could be what makes the big difference.
