Are you happy with your Yaris's fuel economy? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I chose other, because while it's more than I expected, I'm not happy about it since we should have access to the smaller engines available on these cars in Europe and Asia which are capable of even better FE. Then I'd be happy.

Seeing as the Yaris is the most fuel-efficient entry-level vehicle little money can buy, for what it's worth I would say I am quite satisfied. I average 48mpg when driving very gently, about 45 when just driving sanely, and even if I thrash the car like mad, I cannot get lower than EPA (31 combined). I've driven 90-100mph on a whole tank and still averaged 32.5 mpg.

But as Voodoo said, a lack of better choice of engines and transmissions is all that stands between total satisfaction. The new Euro Yaris-spec 1.33l engine comes with a 6 speed manual and start/stop...now that is something we should have here!
