For those that hammer the throttle, whats your average lowest mpgs?

Does anyone get a certain smell when they hammer it out at high speeds, cough cough HIGH, speeds? Just curious is all. I do alot of stop and go and shutting my car off after short distances (delivering pizza two nights a week while finish school) and sometimes when I get on the freeway, I'll nail the gas hard all the way up to a certain HIGH speed and then I'll smell a strong exhaust odor. Not quite the leaky exhaust smell but more like a heavier odor. I'm just assuming it's all the carbon getting blown out from constant stop and go, being shut off and turned on a ton of times, etc from few days of delivering and then when I finally get it to the highway, letting it rip.

Any guesses from anyone?

There's a TSB to fix that, some issue with the catalytic converter

especially if your yaris has no ABS....
