I am happy with my 14.5 gallon fuel tank, though. One of my goals is an 800 mile tank  |
800 is pretty impressive; I wish my car had a bigger tank. Sure it's cool that it's <$40 to fill most times, but it would be nice to drive another hundred miles or so. Anyway thanks!

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.

I do love the efficiency of this car, I get awesome results without really "trying," to be honest once I bought my Ultragauge I felt like I was cheating or something. Once I
finally figured out to program it to recognize DFCO my FE jumped by leaps and bounds.
I need to read up on P&G some more, the concept makes sense but it seems overly laborious to me.
As for upgrading, not worth it to me until this one breaks, which with the way I treat my stuff is going to be a very long time
