Still impressive numbers - keep it up! I drive through the Appalachians each day to/from work and am averaging about 45 per tank if I keep the A/C off. :)

I THINK they are the stock tires, Goodyears Eagles, they came with it when I bought it used, (an 'O8 with 54 k miles.) They suck in the winter, I know that, but as I have to have 4x4 anyway, I revert back to the good old '89 Toyota All Trac, which now can rest all spring summer and fall while the Yaris gets a workout. Decent tread left, safe and legal anyway, but I'm looking forward to them being replaced with something better, rolling resistance wise they seem OK anyway.
I run them at 44 psi. No spare, jack, rear carpet and parcel cover thing, rear seat, and a small dog. I don't allow excess crap to build up, as I have that 1,000' climb every day. |

LRR tires to get for the Yaris
When you do replace your Yaris tires, consider the Michelin Primacy MXV4.
An excellent tire for LRR, per TireRack and Consumers Reports. They are what I am putting on my Yaris this fall. I am now running on LRR Goodyear Integrity tires, which are ok, but nothing great. Have 5/32 on two, and 6/32 on the other two. |

I read a hyper-miler boast that he puts his AT Yaris in neutral while descending hills. A Toyota mechanic told me that the best method was let the AT do the coasting...the computer will not shut off the injectors if in neutral! If the AT is in drive and coasting...the computer will completely shut off the injectors...

However I would not casually put an *automatic* transmission in neutral, IMHO. Don't trust automatics. |

totally agreed. if that was the way we perceived what MPG actually means then all car manufacturers would say their models got 50+ MPG at the least!

I think MPGs should always be based on a full tank of gas. I always fill up then drive till the gas gauage blinks. I know I still have at least 50 miles to find a gas station.
