Well that's the secret as to why you're not breaking 50 MPG. Good and frequent use of that technique is the way to get a car such as a Yaris up closer to about 60 MPG on a tank average. and there certainly would be trips that you could do that would get better than 70 MPG.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. 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.
