72. You have your assistant bring you lunch to avoid two short trips.

73. You walk two blocks to park in the nearest shade so the AC doesn't hurt your mileage when you return.

74. You slow down for green lights because you know they will turn red before you get there.

75. You argue with your spouse about the thermostat setting because of it's effect on your mileage.

76. You get a sick feeling when your mpg drops from 58 to 56.5.

77. You carry a gas can in your car so you can push for a new record tank distance.

78. Old people flip you off for driving too slow.

79. You really think what you drive matters.

80. You have given up at least one hobby to spend more time learning about your car.

81) It makes more "sense" to drive 20 miles at 50 MPG than 10 miles at 40 MPG. Which one burns more gas?

82. Old ladies in walkers pass you by.

Need fewer troops to support.
Drive a hybrid.
Best tank 71.65 MPG.

Before this car I spent two years learning hypermiling on my 2004 HCH1.

83. Stop signs mean yield.
84. 75 miles per hour means ≤ 62.1 miles per hour.
85. Road Work Ahead means Go Away. Dead End.

That would be kinda cool...might even be able to get to 20 on there, but if you did it sort of like Dave's top 10 count-down that would be pretty neat to have.

But it may mean that #86 will have to be:

86)Would consider wearing a T-shirt with TOP 10 REASONS YOU KNOW YOU'RE A HYBRID OWNER!! :o :lol:

Jason,
That would be cool, i could use a shirt like that....but I cant really say I own a hybrid...hmm, could we put a name of the MPG mentality?

87)Your mom asks, "Is there a reason you drive so slow?"
88)Your friends favorite prank is to sifon your gas to mess up your average (luckily my door cant be opened from the outside)

Cheers,
Steven

Hi All:

89) When seeing a 45 miles per hour “Work Zone” ahead, you yell out with glee, Eureka!!!

90) You are following an 18-wheeler doing 48 miles per hour and think I must have died and gone to heaven

91) Shortcuts to Weather.com’s hourly forecasts take up a large portion of your desktop

92) You removed the side mirrors, rear wiper, and antennae to improve your automobiles wind resistance :blink:

Hi Glorius Midget:

___Don’t laugh, a fellow Insight owning hypermiler friend of mine did just that for this exact reason! I just don’t have that much of a death wish given the Chicago traffic I drive in day in and day out
