Also, whenever i turn the key off to EOC, the gauge shuts down and takes forever to start again. Ive tried some different start/shut down modes with no luck.

Have anyone got any advice?
Thanks!
When you moved the UG from your other car to the Yaris, did you reset the engine displacement? If it was on a car with a larger displacement and not reset, the engine load could be off.

Which version of the UG do you have? The newer ones have settings for "Power On Detect Mode" and "Power Off Detect Mode". Changing those may solve your issue. I have an older UG, and I just don't worry about it. I use the gauge to give me a repeatable estimate tank-to-tank, but use numbers from the pump and odometer as my actual mpg.
