Poor MPG tried everything - need advice - Toyota Yaris Forums

Keep in mind that EPA numbers are based on optimal, rarely obtained conditions. I believe I heard once that numbers are based on 70°F, at or near sea level, with a max speed of 45 mph.

Yep. The newer ones are a little more accurate but back in 2008 they were as you say above. so to get 33 MPG (US Gal) on winter tires, winter gas and driving in snow is great, I'm happy cause it means the engine is still as good as it would be at 20K miles.
