07 Yaris Hatch - Bad MPG?

Though I would like to get my average up, I think the lower mpg is due to winter blend fuel + colder temps combined with a lot of lower gear driving with the 4 speed auto. Plus, during spring, summer and fall, I always have a bike rack attached to my hitch, empty or loaded. Not much I can do about those factors.

That's some awesome mileage without any hypermiling! I really wish I knew other Yaris owners local to me so we can compare. Too many factors have to be accounted for with Yaris owners in different geographical location.

Ahh sorry, I don't know too much about transmissions. Just that it's not good running through the gears with an auto.

I've had a feeling deep in my gut for as long as I've owned this car. I swear that two identical Yaris tested side by side, all things being equal, the f/e numbers would not match.
