One more thing just to understand better the Yaris engine... Yes it can deliver very good fuel consumption... but only when the car is not fully loaded and especially if it is driven very smooth. Otherwise it will eat almost as much gasoline as a bigger engine. And sadly it is not the most fuel efficient on the highway as the engine keep reving at 3000rpm or so

So that's why I'm losing fuel......must be the weight I'm gaining from those darn donuts I'm eating on my way into work in the mornings!
