gas mileage
My dealership seems to be boasting that the Yaris will get 41 mpg and the Prius 51 mpg, to boost sales.
Aren't these figures the maximum mpg under perfect conditions? What mpg should the average driver expect? I am only getting about 36 mpg so far and I have had the car since the end of May. |

The new Hyundai Elantra is rated 29/40. No lie. Toyota needs to get off their butt. The yaris should get better than the Elantra. I've had dealers quote the little numbers also. That's dishonest as we know the numbers they are to be using. (The big ones )

40 is a huge overstatement. That heavy car with 1.8 will not be getting 40 unless it's rolling down hill. |

Are you sure that it was a 2011 Elantra? I think it's all new.
