According to the website it'd have been a Metro or similar... Anywho, I kept the speed down, didn't idle the engine, and opted to walk when I could (well, not as often as I should). So, +1 to the it just gets less pronounced.
Wow dude, congrats on the highschool sweetheart thing, I was trying to do that, dated my highschool sweetheart for almost 4 years before she got too antsy to keep dating me and gave up waiting for graduation and moved on.

The Yaris is such a great car though. If you ever have to rent a car, it's a very common car and it gets AMAZING gas millage in the standard transmission model. My friend just got the 4-door model and she is getting 60MPG!! all she does is shift at 2300RPM, that's it.
