My Yaris gets 42 mpg mixed, and 44 highway. that is comparable, even better, than some hybrids.
But the Yaris has little power. I accelerate by using the transmission (5 speed manual) but on expressway, to get some power, I downshift into 2nd gear, revving up the engine so when I let clutch out I have high rpm. That is the downside to great mpg, the engine is not powerful, but if I drive defensively and pass on a straight away or downhill, the car is ok. I like the car a great deal, just there are a few times when the lack of power takes me by surprise.
