Yaris Update

While I'm thinking about it: on Friday the dealership in Fargo filled the 11.1-gallon tank. She drove the car home (242 miles), then picked up Emma at school (6 miles), and drove Emma back to school for the April Foolishness carnival (3 miles), where Kristi did an hour volunteer shift. I met her there; she drove me to the train station to pick up the Mazda (4 miles), drove home (3 miles), then dropped me back at the school so I could do my volunteer shift (6 miles round trip). That's roughly 264 miles, and the car was still showing over half a tank.

It could be lying, of course. I think it must be, because that's in the 50 mpg range, and the car is rated at 40 highway. Still, I think it's doing pretty well.
