What else am I missing?!

I didn't know it existed either! Man the Yaris is a honeycomb!

It's called saving money... Gas costs enough as it is, might as well do what you can to save yourself a few dollars. I wouldn't cause a traffic jam on a small road, but I have no problem going slower than everyone else if they can pass me. I'm not as crazy as some of the others, but I like getting over 40 mpg.

Total **bump** on this.

Just had this happen to me today for the first time (just got my new yaris) due to the car being parked outside.

Winder is defiantly a comin!

Hi All, new to the site - but have owned my Yaris for 1.5 years now..

I have been wondering about this light since I got it.. especially with it getting colder now (I'm in MN), it seems to rev really high until the light shuts off... and you're telling me this is okay to drive like that? I've usually just driven it slow until it shifts for me, but every now and then I have to jump on a faster road (45MPH or so) and it makes me nervous to drive it that fast while the light is on. Just looking for some comfort from fellow Yaris owners.

Ha... mine goes out by the time I get to the end of my street.

Looks like some people need to get familiar with their manuals... hahahaha

I wonder if these hypermilers also run their houses at 95 degrees in the summer and 55 degrees in the winter? I wonder if they turn their refrigerators and freezers off when they reach "optimum" temperature? I wonder if they always take cold showers because they don't use their hot water heaters? I wonder if they light their homes with candles? I wonder if they wash their clothes down by the river? I wonder if they refuse to buy anything made of plastic?
I mostly just wonder.
