You know, I pay a bit more attention to my driving style than I used to. I think a lot of my results thus far are based on the fact that the HCH II does not accelerate the way my V8 did and therefore I see no point is stepping on the gas the way I used to. When one has power, it is easy to abuse it. It seemed like every time I was not happy with the people I was driving around, I could always find an easy escape a the push of a pedal. Now, I just go with the flow. I also find that I am now a lot more calm when I am in the car than I used to be.
The little guage that shows you "real time" MPG helps hammer the guilt of stepping on the gas home though. It is like a nagging mother that always reminds you that you don't call as often as you used to. It is always there and never lets you forget what happens when your foot gains weight.
