I just took a preliminary trip up to Johnston ridge yesterday, it was overcast and all, but overall i was a nice drive! Cant wait to meet up with all you guys. It will be the most Yaris' i have ever seen in one place!

I havent signed up yet but ill be there.

BTW, for anyone who is interested, ill post my mpg numbers for yesterday

Interstate speeds were 65-70mph

Hillsboro, OR to Castle Rock: 47.5mpg
Castle Rock to Johnston Ridge: 37..6 mpg
Johnston Ridge to Castle Rock: 68.5 mpg
Castle Rock to Hillsboro, OR: 44 mpg (i hit rush hour traffic on my way home :( .)

overall mpg was 48.95 for the trip. Any idea what you guys will get?

well, seeing as I have a 4 hr drive just to get to the meeting location before the drive.... i'm sure I will be doing 70-75mph... thus 35mpg would be my guess, then once I get there, maybe closer to 40mpg, but even then, got to keep up with the group, I don't plan on being the last one up the hill, nor do I plan to break ranks once we have our caravan set up.

+1 on the caravan. I think seeing all of us Yarii in a line will probably be the sweetest thing ever, and make an awesome photo.

I'll have a 4.5 hour drive each way. I think last time I came in around 32-34mpg. I'm hoping for better this time. I'll have the new throttle body on and hopefully working by the cruise, dunno if that will have an effect or not.

Bump, less than a week! New TB is on and kicking ass, lighting mods done (for now) and started cleaning the car.
