I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY !!!

In recent years, I have not really been a "rush" driver like many on the road, but I admit I did my share of "gassing it" between red lights. So Silly, Oh So Silly !! No more !!!

Even this weekend I had an instance of this dude in a hot rod Ford pickup ZOOMING around me in a 45 miles per hour area when I was going about 38, like I was keeping him from a hot date. Next light, I was in another lane, two cars ahead of him. He ZOOMED away again, picking open spots in the traffic. Next red light, again there I was right beside him in another lane. He never knew what was going on, but I could not help but chuckle. I was getting about 60 MPG between lights, and he was getting about 5 MPG.......

Anyway, driving to conserve is the only way to go these days. Anything else is just silly.
