Yaris gets great mileage


My 4 door Yaris is getting anywhere from 42-44 mpg, depending on how fast i drive. The 105 hp means having to plan passing other cars on expressway (I dont evey attempt it up hill) but apart from that the car is great. I would like less road noise, but more insullation means more weight, less mileage and so forth. It has every air bag imaginable, but still has average scores on crash worthiness - again, the weight is an issue, it weighs little, so crashes only average. Solution? Drive carefully, defensively, obey speed limit, get great mpg, and avoid a crash.
