actually, the current yaris is no less efficient than the echo was. it is a misconception because of the methodology change in 2008 for testing cars.

under that system, here are the ratings:

2005 Echo-automatic 28 city/36 highway/31 combined
manual 30 city/38 highway/33 combined

2014 Yaris-automatic 30 city/36 highway/32 combined
manual 30 city/37 highway/33 combined

id call it a wash, and for anyone who has spent much time in an echo, the yaris is a drastically better experience.
