@Clifton C: Note that the Smart Fortwo has a drag coefficient of 0.38, compared to the Yaris’ 0.29. By comparison, 2010 Prius’ is 0.25, and the 2009 Prius’ is 0.26. This no doubt makes a big difference on the highway. 0.38 just isn’t that great, whereas 0.29 is getting into “impressive” territory.

@Nancy – has your mileage dropped recently? If so, what were you averaging before the drop?

Have there been any changes in your daily routine … for example, are you driving in and increased amount of stop and go traffic? Spending more time with the car idling?

Are you hauling more weight in the trunk? More passengers?

Have you kept up with normal maintenance (oil changes, air filter, tire pressure check)?

I own a 2008 Yaris sedan with automatic transmission and absolutely love it! I average 38 MPG mixed driving, and have gotten as high as 45 MPG highway. This is my third Toyota, and I like the Yaris better than the Corolla. It’s more stylish, handles better and blows that Corolla out of the water with gas mileage. We also own a Prius which we use for loner trips, and both are fabulous values given their fuel efficiency. If you are looking for a car as reliable as the Prius with excellent fuel efficiency, consider the Yaris.

My little yaris is a Hatchback Manual and I think if you put a smart fortwo side by side they yaris would be the mpg champ just for the fact that the yaris motor has a little more torque than the fortwo with helps the motor to not have to work as hard.

Has any one tried two do a mpg war with the yaris and Smart fortwo I’m intrested to see the results since I dont own a smart I can only tell ya what my yaris will do.

The most I got off of one tank in my yaris is 375 miles mixed driving. and about 10 gallons to fill that back up.

I bought a 2009 Yaris 2dr hatchback 5spd a month ago after my 2003 Hyundai Accent sedan automatic got totalled. The Hyundai was getting 25mpg, the Yaris is getting 32mpg! My commute to work is in stop and go traffic for 13 miles. I also have to frequently run the A/C because it gets pretty hot here in south Louisiana, which I know brings the mileage down a little. I admit I bought this car because it was the cheapest new car I could find, but I’m very happy with it. After reading these reviews, I’m going to try and get better mileage, if others have done it, why can’t I?

We purchased a 2007 Yaris sedan in Dec. of 2006 and loved it so much that we came back and purchased another one six months later! Anyone looking for a nice cheap commuter car should check out the Yaris. Our suggestion is to use your Costco.com membership to get the rock bottom, no haggle, Costco Auto Program price and buy the _BASIC_ model with _NO OPTIONS_, then add you own aftermaket stereo, speakers, alarm, etc… We have built up two (2) great little Yaris sedans with loads of bells, whistles, and toys for well under the dealers “loaded” package price. Next, we plan on taking a look at the new 2009-2010 five door (four door with hatchback) Yaris. Both our Yaris sedans are averaging over 40mpg and have had no problems. I hope the ‘09 five door is built as well as the 2007-08 sedans. Stay tuned to our website for more Yaris adventures! BTW, thanks MSN for helping me find this great website!
