Congratulations on the new Yaris. I rented an AT Yaris in New England last Summer and got 41 or 42 mpg avg over three tanks from Boston to northeast ME, NH, VT, CT, and back to MA.

I get much better mpg with my .35 Cd MT no mods xB, even with its engine buzzing at 3000 rpm at 60 mph. The nut behind the wheel makes a lot more difference than any mods.
