I bet all that makes your car look FAST but also your right foot much heavier!

Also the diameter of the tires play a big roll in MPG, When I have the smaller tires 23.1 inches I get 40 MPG with the OEM size 23.7 inches I get 44 MPG

And of course, driving habits make a big difference, besides my commute is 100 miles a day 85% it's highway. 15% are backroads.

Thanks! It's been a fun car to mod. My Toyota mechanic buddy drove it the other day and said it rides and handles like an MR2. Some day I'd love to get it on the dyno and see what the numbers are to the ground, just for grins and giggles.


My commute is 34 miles round trip and 95% surface streets, 5% freeway. When I put 205's on it, the mileage dropped by about 3 mpg. Oh well. Not a big deal to me. My Tundra get's about 13 mpg, so I'm waaaay ahead of that!

Your Yaris looks very sharp with the new tire/rim combo! Nice!
