The government estimated mileages leave no room at all for any agressive driving at all. None. If you don't drive it very gently, you won't get the 39mpg. 36.6 is above average for any kind of mixed driving. If it was 100% highway, well...

three main things I've noticed will drag the Yaris mpg down :
1) Hotdogging. Enjoy it, but you will pay in reduced mpg. You knew it, come on.
2) Cold temperatures drag the mpg down during the cold engine (rich mix) time, drops mpg 1 to 1.5 less.
3) Using the AC drops mpg 1 to 1.5 less. It really is a little engine...
