Ability to get over 40mpg with a standard gas engine. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
I do a lot of in-town driving with spurts of long distance driving. After having owned a minivan, the Yaris is exceptionally fuel economic in comparison. |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
My lifetime Fuel Economy is 41.84 MPG |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
30+ MPG without even trying |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
I needed an economical car for short trips. Fuel consumption is reported as being very good. My first trip showed good fuel economy. |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
My latest fuel economy was 45mpg. Enough said. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The fuel economy was, at the time of purchase, the best of any car in its class. |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Have gotten as high as 43 mpg on highway so long as I stay at or below 65 mph. At higher speeds, fuel economy seems to reduce to 39 mpg. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Given its size, should have a better rating. During my test drives (and several rentals), consistently performed worse than EPA estimates, even using a light foot. |
