Ah, yes that could very well be true. I remember when the Yaris first came out, the guys on the hypermiler forums were reporting 60mpg with their runs and made fun of people trying to get $7000 for a 15 year old Civic VX which does about the same mpg. I guess that's where my rant originally came from for the Yaris economy figures I've been getting.
I used to drive a Civic HX which was the newer upgraded model from the Civic VX and although the mpg rated numbers were pretty high, I was getting about the same mpg figures as my current Yaris. I like the fact that the Yaris feels like it has much more torque than both the Civic VX and HX though, I can actually peel out with the Yaris easily which didn't seem possible with the civics. Then again those civics only opened up one intake valve on all 4 cylinders and later opened all 8 when you reached 2000 rpm. It's also possible the bad mpg on my old HX never had the EGR and throttle body cleaned, nor the oxygen sensor / air fuel sensor replaced which I hear makes a big difference.
This brings me to another question, is there an EGR valve on our cars? The only thing I've read on this forum was a way to clean the MAF sensor but nothing comes up when I search for EGR cleaning or emissions related cleaning.
