319) You drive your other car to Friday Happy Hour.

Darn - now I wish I'd kept my other car just for that

320) You go to gas stations more often to fill your tires than your tank.

(sorry if someone already got this one)

Is anyone making a simplified text version of this list that just shows the numbered responses in order?

321- You tell your wife she knows nothing about FE, so just drive the gas hog and stay out of the hybrid.

322) When you steer for tire tracks and around puddles on rainy days to improve MPG.

Hmm. I posted a few, but they didn't seem to show up.

323. You don't enter a contest to win a non-hybrid car, for fear of winning it.

324. You laugh/giggle/snort when you see a non-hybrid vehicle of the same class as yours advertising the "great milage" it gets. (20 MPGs!)

325. You make a 500+ mile round trip, and only get off the highway for bathroom breaks/meals.

326. You find yourself compelled to write in to correct articles that contain bad information about hybrids.

327. You're considered to be an expert on how to get good FE with your model hybrid.

328. You've written the vehicle FAQ for your hybrid.

329. You spend more time looking at your MPGs than MPHs.

330. Your friends call you while filling up at gas stations to tell you they're thinking of you and your great FE !!

331. You have sex in your car with the heat/stereo on and all you can worry about is your FE declining.

..true story, sadly. I'm down by 2mpg...

320) You are drafting a big pick up truck to try to increase your mpg and the guy slows down to get you to pass, but you are happy that it will increase your mpg even more, so you stay tight, and then he gives you the finger and speeds off.

Ya know, I've noticed that it's harder for me to get good FE on the weekends or at night. I've concluded that it's because the shoes I wear to work are lighter and have a thinner sole than my normal walking sneakers. I'm looking at a pair of these for getting behind the wheel.
