#449 (or so) You go across the mall parking lot running on battery to use the exit with the traffic light so you can stop a long line of regular cars and large SUVs on a busy highway and watch them idle. (Guilty)

Not happy with your boyfriends mpg on a day drive you have him pull over so that you can drive and bring it back up to where it was(or better)

451 - When asked, you can instantly tell anyone your average mpg on your current tank of gas....50.1.


452 - You can drive to work using your brakes only once, and never on your trip home.

.

Stop Global Warming Now...Block the Sun.

57-60mpg in recent tanks.
60mpg@60mph
Burn less foreign oil...get a hybrid.

453- you rather sit in traffic than ride in the HOV lane for the better mpg.

I can totally relate to that one. An Escalade tried to cut us off, and then flipped us off. We followed it a bit, very very slowly, and scared the teen witch driver off.

4XX. You pay neighborhood kids to push you down the street and into your driveway to conserve battery power.

4XX. You keep track of how many pedestrians you terrify when you sneak up behind them, and they don't notice you until you're right next to them.

4XX. You've made more than 2 changes to your vehicle (not driving style) to get better FE.

4XX. You get all SMUG when you're in a traffic jam.

4XX. (This may be a repeat) Your mood swings with your FE; the better your MPGs, the happier your are.

4XX. You actually have a multi-step process of teaching and demonstrations that others must pass before they can drive your hybrid.
