Is the yaris best car for gas mileage out there? (in it's price class, of course)

[roxy1]

chevy cobalt xfe rated 25/37. more expensive i think (but ive seen it sold for as little as $13,800), and outside of pure highway i dont think it is going to beat the yaris.

One more antidote

The combined MPG is better in the Yaris (manual transmission) vs Cobalt XFE (manual transmission)

2010 Yaris 29 city 36 highway 32 combined

2010 Cobalt 25 city 37 highway 30 combined

I have an 09 3dr liftback, girlfriend has an 09 Fit sport. I get two to three mpg more than she does, both do about the same mileage per week,combined city and highway. Fit is geared a little lower and has more horsepower. Runs 3000 to 3100 rpms at 65 mph. Yaris runs 2800 or so at 65 mph.
