Wow thanks, I just learned a crapton of stuff in there I didn't know about. Since this area is so hilly, maybe I did make the right decision to get an auto. I think I'll do what you guys have stated and try to pick up as much speed as I can before hitting the hills (within reason of course). Most of the roads around here are 2 lane (1 lane for each direction of traffic) so if I start going slow lots of angry people accumulate behind me. The main thing that I miss about my Ranger was all the extra power it had. Going uphill wasn't the slightest bit of trouble for it, but I guess if I have to trade the 12-15mpg I got on my Ranger for the 31-43 I've been getting on my Yaris...I'll keep the Yaris and the hill climbing difficulties. I think I'll get on Google maps and see if I can map out some different ways to get to my normal routes that aren't quite as hilly.
