dude, you have to remember that those figres given to you from the dealers are for a combination of city and highway driving. for the zze corolla sportivo with 2zz-ge engine, the figures say mixed driving is 8.5L/100kms. but when i drive on the freeway only its possible for me to get 6L/100kms and if its in the city, the most fuel it ever comsumed was closer to 9.0L/100kms. yaris is a very good car for its class. while its not the best, its definately more affordable with what you get. furthermore, its not only the fuel consumption that should steer u away from buying a toyota next time.
