I also empty my pockets of all excess change, try and go to the bathroom, and don't feed the (small) dog before driving the Yaris. I don't re-fill the windshield washer tank until needed, too much weight. Of course no extra fuel is carried, I just get a gallon at a time. The Sirius sat radio saves the weight of cd's. When I pick up the mail and paper at the bottom of the hill, I throw out the junk mail and the sections of the paper I don't read before pulling the mountain, sure it's littering but no extra weight really pays off. Other then that I drive the Yaris like any other car. Oh yeah, I also make sure I shave before driving, and I keep the dog clipped short also.

Reminds me of taking off every bit of jewelry (and using the restroom) before getting weighed at the doctor's office.
