The fuel economy is outstanding, given the power it produces.

Unfortunately however the Yaris is porked up in weight over the car it replaces, here in the US thats the ECHO. echo = 2000 lbs Yaris = + 200 OR 300.

Im not sure because we dont have the 1 liter engine here but from what I have read the mpg of the 1 over the 1.5 is not all that much.

Although I would prefer it myself.

If economy is your thing you DO NOT want that diesel. It costs thousands more and diesel fuel is more than gas in the US, eliminating any savings potential.

Although its only about 20-30 cents a gallon more right now.

In some parts of the US, diesel is about the same. There are some benefits to diesel that make them better than gas engines. They last longer, get getter mileage, and require less maintenance over the life span.

Much like your stance on synthetic oil, you are standing on an island!
