Well that sucks! So there's not going to be any new sedans anymore? Unless they change their mind.

Of course, I don't know if yaris has been the king for a good while. When it comes to gasoline mpg. There are others like Kia and Ford that claim higher than 35 mpg with their latest and greatest 4-bangers.

I believe Kia is in big trouble with the Feds for LYING about the mpg its cars get.

I don't believe Ford is telling the truth either Even its 1 liter Ecoboost engine with turbo is only rated as good as the Yaris!

Yea it seems the only manufacturer not to be sued for lying about gas mileage is Toyota.

With numerous companies being caught overstating mileage, Toyota's are consistently under rated. It's sad if people base a purchase decision on EPA/manufacturer claims on. Do extensive online research. Thousands of people record mileage and track it on fuel efficiency sites. You can find pretty accurate real world averages there.

Do you happen to have the accurate real world average for the Yaris? The sedan in particular. My average has been about 35, but I'm not a leadfoot like some people.

I have been averaging 36.5 part city part highway putting roughly 40 miles a day on my 2012 SE. It gets almost twice the car I traded it for three years ago :-)
