OK... methinks I'm getting punked here...

I've had my Yaris for about a month, and it has roughly 1500 miles on it. I'm probably averaging 29 MPG, and this past tank, I only got 24. I use the AC regularly, and I know that hurts the MPG, but by THAT much??

In the absence of more details, I consider that your mpg numbers are a bit on the low side. Even the A/C should not hurt that much. Hope your next few tanks will be better. Otherwise, some further investigations may be due.
In the mean time, I would suggest that you watch out for irregularities when you drive, such as unusual loss of power, warning lights on the dash, strange noises, bad handling etc and take the car to service if you do encouter any problem. May be it is just a matter of "wrong" calculations.
All the best!
