Wondering why people complain that Yaris' cant get good mileage?! - Toyota Yaris Forums

That's just hard for me to fathom, Yaris Hilton. Even in the dead of winter, with a car full of adults and snow sports equipment, with the Spikes Spiders on and doing the traffic-laden run to and from the local ski area, I still get 42 MPG.

Granted, my engine grille block helps, but still...

I doubt an engine grille block helps at all. You're probably not poking around in 25 MPH speed limits with lots of traffic lights, though. And little up and down hills where you have to put in lots of energy to climb, but have to take it all right off with the brakes, rarely benefiting from the downhill coasting. That's Bristol.
