My 2009 yaris sedan automatic seems to get about 32-33 MPG city with the air conditioner running. I expect that to slightly increase in the non-summer months when the AC is off. Maybe by a 1 or two miles per gallon. I have not had a chance to test the highway MPG. The car has 40,000 miles on it and has no mods worth mentioning. I run Royal Purple 5w30 engine oil. When the car needs a tune up, I'm going to get those E3 diamond fire spark plugs, cause they claim to reduce emissions and raise gas mileage by 7%. I've seen some tests and they really do reduce emissions.

Mine is stock and I am getting 41 mpg during the summer running the A/C.You'll loose a few mpg in the winter due to different gas..Drive the car quit trying to do things to better mpg..The best change is your take offs.The $$$ you spent on parts to help fuel mileage that did nothing would buy some gas

E3 actually block the flamefront and if anything will be worse than stock plugs. the combustion chamber
is designed for a normal spark plug and you cannot get magic MPG from a simple plug.
if you could get 7% from a plug the Yaris would already have E3 installed so it would rate higher on
the government MPG ratings and outsell other compacts
