i think the 80mph and 1600rpm cruising rpm definitely help that

Yep. My dad's 2006 Corvette will get 30MPG on the highway. Low RPM and aerodynamics help.

The current Rio is a badged-engineered Hyundai Accent. The Yaris is rated at 106, KIA at 110. But yes power to weight ratio counts. I would consider a Hyundai Accent but I just can't get over the looks.
Not only the engine and weight but also how the car is geared effects mileage.

Don't consider a Hyundai Accent. I have an '07 Accent hatch and it's crap!

Bad gas mileage, interior scuffs really easy, a lot less power then the Yaris, and just all-around a cheap feeling car.

You did? Well, thank you!

I had a Rio before my Yaris and IMO the Yaris drives 10x better. But that just might be because I had no power anything or ac in that car haha. As far as hp goes the Rio seemed to have a little bit more pep but no where close as far as a smoother ride stock.

I like my Kia Rondo, yet I disliked my Hyundai Elantra.

HP? who cares... does the Kia have VVTi or anything that resembles dynamic valve timings? That alone will make up for the gap. I'd bet money that a stock yaris is faster than a stock rio... and due to the DFCO, probably a hell of a lot better on gas and emissions too.

There's a lot more to cars than total HP.
