Yaris drivers help the environment

[yoyoche]

Not only are we saving money now, but we are saving for our childrens future on this earth. Props to all.
I admit I was not aware of this when I bought the vehicle. But since buying the Yarii I have been researching everything I could find about this little car. This led me to CleanMPG (thanks BailOut), fueleconomy.gov, greenercars, and many other sites. Learned alot, but still alot more to learn.

'The Greenest of 2007

This year, the natural gas-powered Honda Civic GX claims the title as the greenest vehicle of the year. Toyota's hybrid-electric Prius, which places second, is the year's top-scoring gasoline vehicle, while Honda's Civic Hybrid ranks a close third. Rounding out the top five are the recently released Nissan Altima Hybrid and Toyota Yaris. In total, the Greenest Vehicles list contains one natural gas, four hybrid-electric, and seven conventional gasoline vehicles, a mix of technologies that demonstrates some of the avenues automakers have taken in developing greener vehicles. Whether using hybrid gasoline-electric designs, compressed natural gas, or simply clean and efficient conventional gasoline designs, automakers have visibly demonstrated their ability to engineer with the environment in mind.'
