And at 85 I can hit 40mpg if i am doing all highway. That is totally beside the point. Stop trying to be a jerk.

I think that the Yaris will make better than 29mph at a steady 85mpg, but there is no way you can achieve 40mpg at this speed.
Anyway, the Yaris isn't really a highway cruiser so I don't mind more than that, as long as it's not revving too high for nothing and comfortable.
