228. You find yourself asking passengers "We don't need to come to a full stop for you to get out, do we?"

229. You have a nice expensive lunch and "purge" before leaving the restraunt to save a few lbs in the car.

230. You encourage your passengers to do the same.

231. You secretly put some diaretic in their food to ensure they comply.

I hope it works really really fast, or else you will be faced with another problem. Of course, if the worst happens, then you probably won't have many passengers in the car for a while.

232. You can’t wait for friends to ask why the hybrid doesn't shift so you can explain the electronically-controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT) technical details.
233. You talk your spouse into starting a new diet with you, not for health reasons, but rather to help improve MPG average. Then you consider donating your spare kidney…

235. You go to the bathroom before driving anywhere... not because your bladder is killing you... but because the extra weight might affect mpg.

236. Catch yourself applying Pulse & Glide playing Mario Kart.

237. when you nonchalantly mention at work that you just filled your car and it took 9.6 gallons of gas........and went over 500 miles on that tank.
238. when you truly can't remember last time you filled it
239. when you really really REALLY wanted a blue car again.....but settled for magnesium because you could get it NOW (the week that gas went up after katrina)
240. when you spent 10 minutes with the clerk at the motor vehicle dept. while she checked the database to see if the "green" name you wanted on your personal plates was taken...and were surprised to see that so many were. and she was the only clerk on duty at the time, and the guy waiting gave you a dirty look when you were done.

OK, OK, I've read it several times. What is IMA and HSD? I like acronyms as much as anyone, however....
