yes clouds... or "propulsion farts" to be technical.

It's mostly just radical hypermiling. I reset my trip MPG gauge last week to clock my new effort at 70+ and have been as high as 75 since. At 70.1 right now. The mods are to make it easier while driving more "normally" ... have you modified your Yaris much? Which Yaris chassis do you have? Manual transmission?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
