Pro-Yaris hypermiling article - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Cool article! Yeah I'm pretty much in the same catagory. I don't have a Yaris but my ECHO got 49mpg and I wasn't even trying that hard. I have yet to break 50mpg barrier maybe when it gets warmer. I have an auto which is just as impressive, I've read other ECHO owners getting 50mpg if not more. I commute 40miles to work and back each day and I stay consistant at 65 on the highway and I do some of the stuff pointed out in the article, on adverage I get mid 40's so really good mileage. Damn I love my car!!

Yea, I've been driving my yaris kinda hard since I bought it. I've come from performance cars, like 400whp cars, but after my Acura was stolen, I decided to go economic and picked up a yaris. It's been hard for me to lay off that gas, but since I am shooting for 45mpg by summer, I need to start changing my habits.

After reading this thread and the other one about DFCO, I'm REALLY aiming for 45mpg. On a side note, I also watched "Who Killed the Electric Car?" documentary the same day I read the article and found cleanmpg.com, and it really makes me want to get a hybrid, like an old Insight or something.
