I do 40 miles round trip to/from work. Mostly stop and go.
I AM within the EPA averge for this car. Why does'nt my car do any better???
Also, isn't it REAL bad to throw an auto into neutral while rolling?

auxmike, I average 32-33mpg with my auto sedan. I drive fairly aggressive with a 25 mile round trip daily to work. One day per week is 100 mile round trip to my employer's factory, so my average mileage per week is about 330. Highway driving is max 5 mph over speed limit with cruise control. No hypermiling here. My best MPG last year was 39 mpg at 65 mph to the factory and back.

In March of this year, I took a trip from Tulsa OK to Dallas TX. Drove speed limit all the way on highways with some stop and go driving intermixed. Got 36 mpg. While it is fun to hypermile and try to get 40-50+ mpg, I totally enjoy wringing all the performance and handling out of my Yaris while getting in excess of 30 mpg. Yaris FTW!!!
