Hi we are buying a new Toyota Yaris 5 door hatchback with power windows, power locks, keyless entry, A/C, alloy wheels! It is very nice, and I heard that you can get 50mpg in it! I’m totally going to hypermile!

The Yaris brochure(MY 2009) lists a picture of the “S” sedan in Zephyr Blue metallic. In the same brochure on the inside cover page,footnote #18 says not available on S. What’s the truth?

Thanks for all the excellent info on the Yaris, especially the weight/mpg of the 2009 4 door HB. (Please don’t use “irregardless,” it’s junk language.)

If you read the specifications page of the 2009 Yaris brochure ; you will learn that all models (LB & Sedans) have the same base curb weight irregardless of body style and trim level! Hope this helps in your purchasing decision. P.S. They all have the MPG rating. [See toyota.com/yaris]

I am considering purchasing the 2009 Yaris 4 door LB Auto – (unfortunately, the 4 door only comes with auto transmission.) I want the package with the split/fold-flat rear seat, but this package also comes with 15 inch wheels. I am concerned that the extra doors (extra weight?) and larger wheels might increase fuel consumption. I would love to hear what sort of mileage folks are getting with this combo.

I found the switch to synthetic oil to get another 1.5-2 mpg out of my Yaris LB, and be cleaner on the environment.My 2008 has an automatic transmission I average 35-36 in city have gotten almost 50 mpg on an extended open road trip driving 66 mpg without heavy traffic and ac off.

i just had my 2008 yaris liftback long enough to change oil for the first time with my previous mpg high of almost 45. i changed oil using mobile 1 synthetic 5w-30. afterwards i drove over 200 miles to the mountains of NC from fayetteville where i live. i achieved my best mpg yet using cruise control at 65-67 mph with ac on with my car equipped with auto transmission i got 47 mpg!
