What it costs to fuel
Across its configurations, the 2018 Yaris costs about $1,850 to $2,050 a year to fuel at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis, averaging roughly $1,938. Over five years that is about $9,688 in fuel alone before maintenance, insurance and depreciation — which is why the running cost, not just the price, decides what a car really costs.
Relative to an average new vehicle, the most efficient Yaris configuration saves about $2,250 in fuel over five years; less efficient versions spend more.
For context, the average combined economy of compact cars in this dataset is about 29 MPG. The Yaris sits roughly 5 MPG above that mark at its midpoint, making it more efficient than average for its EPA class.
