Don't be a hazard to other drivers (and yourself) and just drive the speed limit. You will not save any appreciable amount of gas or money by impeding traffic, but you will piss off a lot of people!

On a side note, I love my Yaris, but hate having to baby the thing just to get 43-45 MPG. I still have it, but bought an old CRX HF last month for my work beater (I drive 1200 miles/week). My absolute worst tank average is better than my best tank average in the Yaris.....I get 47MPG when I beat on it and 60MPG when I'm nice (I average 54MPG) and that's on the highway cruising between 65-75 MPH. In contrast, my best tank in the Yaris has been 47.5 MPG and I average right at 40.

I think the Yaris should be capable of those numbers without driving it like a little old lady afraid of touching the gas pedal.....it's the one thing that aggravates me the most about my Yaris. [/rant]
