just completed cross-country trip (Philly to Newport Beach CA)

[carlgt1]

I was very impressed by the performance and comfort of the Yaris on this trip. It was the biggest trip I've ever done -- 3200 miles via the "Appalachian Trail" route and the "Southern Pacific" route of the Road Trip USA book (which I highly recommend, website http://roadtripusa.com )

I kept pretty detailed records of my gas and mileage and most of the trip (I have a 2007 automatic trans Yaris), not using air conditioning I was averaging about 42 mpg! It dropped a bit to about 38mpg as I got in the southwest and it got hot so I had the A/C on quite a bit.

A lifesaver was my tomtom satnav/gps and my Sirius satellite radio. It was nice hearing "continual" music without having to change the station for a better signal. here are some pics taken from within our just outside the Yaris! :-)
