Hi Neil,
Yes, I can see how your Winter fuel economy suffers, although 40 mpg in the Winter isn't what anyone would call terrible. My xB shares your xA's drivetrain, with worse aerodynamics, so you'd clean my clock if you had my Winter weather.
I've seen on the Yaris forums where someone swapped ring gears and bolts from an xA/xB into a Yaris for quicker acceleration. Seems like we should be able to do the opposite.
