New EPA mileage standards - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Many of us still got 40mpg US on highway at 70mph. However 30mpg in city/many lights driving looks much more realistic

60mpg city driving for the Prius was simply ridiculous. Hybrids do at most 20% better mileage than the similar normal engine. One exception, the honda Insight, was/is far more than an ordinary hybrid.

I just hit 47.2 the other day,try and beat that,I still had half a tank left.
I can get 40mpg with moderate accelaration,and 70-75mph on the road.
So dont let this worry you,if you do the right things to your car,you can acheive this aswell.

No, They just went to more realistic acceleration and cruising speeds.
