Nancy, there was a supercharged Yaris at a hillclimb event I did last summer... it was crazy fast through the autocross portion at the bottom of the hill. It sounded like a vacuum cleaner though.

Looks like a nice car Nancy,

"So my daily driver is a 2008 Toyota Yaris, 39+mpg. I hope nobody is too mad at me"

Wish my truck got 39 mpg. I drive a 2005 Toyota Tundra, it only gets 15 miles mpg. Looking for a small car, maybe I go get a yaris.

I don't know what kind of mileage my truck gets. If I was worried about the mileage I wouldn't have bought a full size 4 wheel drive pickup. I could check it sometime but what good would that do? I'm sure it sucks and knowing what it is exactly won't change anything, it'll still suck.

My wife drives a 2006 Chrysler 300C. Yeah...its got a Hemi (340hp). It has the cylinder displacement technology where it goes to 4 cyl on the highway.She gets around 20mpg (highway). One thing to note: my wife drives this car like an old lady to conserve gas. Lol
I drive a 00 Z-71 Silverado. Along time ago I checked the gas millage and got around 14-15mpg. I pulled a 24' enclosed trailer with my friends 62 impala loaded inside to a carshow and averaged 7-8mpg.

Brian .... she tells you she drives it like an old lady....or maybe she does when you are in the truck. But, you give a woman a car with some power and I don't care what she tells you....she is gonna step on it !!!!
