Took my Yaris through the Rockie Mountains this week-end and....

[Moore]

it performed beautifully!!!!!! Took those big hills great. It was awesome!!! Not alot of gas stations from Banff to Jasper, and the one at Lake Louise was lined up with vehicles, and I had tons to spare. A whole week-end of touring from Banff to Jasper, and just about everything in between on less than a tank. I thought all the hill climbing would drastically hurt my mpg, and that at some point I would have to gas up, but nope, still had 3 bars left!! My only gripe is that going down steep hills it kicks out of overdrive and begins to engine break. I can understand it kicking out of overdrive to climb hills, but I'm not crazy about it engine breaking down hills.
