I've heard that releasing the parking brake will improve my 0-60 times. Anyone try this yet?

Just lose 200lbs. That's the same as 20 extra HP, and you'll fit better in the car.

Since the Covid-19 shelter in place, I've noticed a radical change in my mileage. I used to have to fill up every week, and now I can't remember the last time I filled up my car. Do you think a neighbor is pranking me by adding gas to my car, or is this virus somehow affecting my engine? Also, I have noticed that rust build up on my rotors that others have been concerned about. Is this a symptom too? Does my FRS have Covid?

Carvid. Also known as the Corolla virus. Sitting around is bad for it's auto immune system.

Depends upon their origin. Some will go to Vauxhalla

Sounds impressive but it should be closer to -50 if 200 were lost.
