Yaris is a fine car. The numbers from the gov only tell part of the tale. It's not unheard of to get mpgs into the 40s. Only reason I didn't get the Yaris was because 2006 was its inaugural year and I wanted something with a little more space so I settled for the xA.

OK, 50+ mpg may be a stretch but with some massive modding and smarter driving, it is still in the realm of possibilities.
