Matt,
Yes, I EOC all the time in local short trips, but almost never on long highway drives. It's the difference between 60 mpg and 40 mpg in my xB. If you don't EOC, you're taking a similar penalty. OTOH, your Yaris is much more capable. Another hypermiler & I drove the same 10 mile loop, & he matched my 60+ mpg P&G with his Echo. But he drove it without P&G or EOC. He kept his in 5th gear. When I drive mine the same way, I get about 10 mpg less = low-50s.
You & I must have the older UG. The current UG EM has the automatic trip reset feature. We can upgrade our software to EM for a nominal fee.
