MPG so far is 28MPG on my first tank, installed Rostra Cruise Control, then 36MPG on my second with a mixture of city and hwy miles at Sandbridge Beach!

I also installed my arm rest and I have my mudguards, but I will install those tonight. :smile:

Did you install the cruise control yourself? How hard was it to do and how much did it cost?

Yes, I installed it myself. It was $252.90 with total with shipping. It took about 3 hours because I installed it at night with my brother using flashlights. I was going on a trip and I wanted it to get the best MPG and avoid speeding tickets.

Print the directions out from the website in color

Here is a link to the site http://www.thecruisecontrolstore.com/ This place shipped like lightning too.

The installation is not for the faint of heart. Getting the wire through the firewall is a biotch. It is good to have 2 people for the install. One to read the instructions and keep track of progress, and one to do the job.

Make very sure you feel comfortable that you tap the right wires or you might fry something. Read the directions multiple times before the work and while doing the work. Discuss anything y'all disagree about. Once you tap the wires correctly then it is not too hard to do the rest, just routing wires under your dash and stuff. If you have an automatic, be careful, there are 2 grey plugs on your transmission. Use the one that is most forward. Make sure you check your brakes once you have finished, you may need to adjust your brake sensor.

The gas pedal on the Yaris is bizarre since it is all drive by wire. Pretty cool actually.

Thats about all I can remember about the install.

Good luck!!

I also highly reccommend the Yaris Armrest for $77.00

Now in the hills of Georgia, near Helen.
2007 Liftback, Meteorite Metallic -- automatic, power package, keyless entry, Enkei alloy 15" wheels, fogs. Looking for mat to cover entire cargo area (with back seat down), anybody?

I'm not proud, I use one of those blue U-Haul blankets to protect the whole rear cargo area while taking yard/kitchen trash bags to the dump. Works great and it's nice to lay on while removing/installing the plug & filter during the oil changes. ;) It is washable when need be.

Thanks for the idea Racer, but I really would like something in a thick rubber. Need something that will keep my weekend purchases (5 cases coca-cola, groceries, christmas shopping, etc.) from slip-sliding all over the place.

No mods yet but a Ron Paul '08 sticker is first on the list and then tint and a nubby antenna, boyfriend took the fugly dealer sticker off

I drove it off the lot with 10 miles on it yesterday 08/25/07, the LAST 3dr available in the whole city of Memphis and surrounding suburbs. I almost snarled at another woman who was looking at it while I was getting my financing approved. I wanted Black Sand Pearl but didn't want to wait for it to come in. Drove it off the lot with 10 miles on the odometer (over half of that was my test drive), it has about 90 on it now. My boyfriend has a silver 3dr, we'd both wanted one since the winter. Yaris Twinkies. :drinking:
