I know this thread died but I deliver pizza as well. at pizza hut we get a 1.25 per delivery we take towards our mileage. on a really good night I take 10 if not 15 deliveries. putting into account that right now at current gas prices (not sure how it is in your neck of the woods but in Texas its 3.13 where I live.) It costs approximately 30 dollars give or take to fill it from empty. Now starting at a full tank and taking 10-15 deliveries I usually only use a quarter of my tank if that. Now having 15 or so dollars towards my gas I go to top my tank off and it only comes to seven or so dollars. So in theory just by driving a yaris I've increased my daily income due to its amazing gas mileage. Of course this will vary from person to person based on corporate policies. But in any-case what I guess I'm trying to say is just by driving a yaris you are already saving money. I used to deliver in my Grand Prix GTS which was a V6 supercharged, dont ever do that I went through gas like it was no bodies business :P

OTOH, off hand, I would say that because the Yaris is so cheap, cheap to insure, and gets above average gas mileage, you probably are coming out ahead. |

yeah I do pay my insurance and my car payments but I got super lucky and got 2.9% financing on my car. And maintenance? on a yaris its almost non-existent haha. I was just saying in my scenario I end up making money off my car because I never use all of my mileage money. In any case none of thats important because the yaris is awesome all the way around. case closed :P haha

I doubt you will be doing this job long. Most delivery jobs don't last long but if so, put some money away for vehicle replacement because you eventually have to replace the car.

I delivered for the past 5 years with a yaris. I would usually get around 30-32mpg on average. Most was in-town driving, lots of stop-n-go's. Now I'm a courier for a medical company, so I'm doing mostly highway miles. I'm getting 40-44mpg, and make much better money.

i know its long dead
but that car topper killed me i was averaging 39.5 mpg doing about 400 miles delivering a week i put that car topper on and this last month its dropped to 37.4 mpg if you can get away with out wearing your car topper do it it acts like an air brake and just drags your car.
love the yaris for delivery had 4 jobs delivering with this car and love the money i save over other employees |

It's the fleet vehicle of choice for any place that their own company vehicles for delivery.
