626) You feel the need to take a cold shower every time you post better mpg's after filling tank.

627) you'll put another 20,000 'style' miles on the road again this year.

LOL!! THis is so twisted! I have been doing this lately: 2. you lean foward going up hills instead of hitting the gas. and the following:

627. You feel proud of yourself when you pick the traffic jam instead of the bypass that you would otherwise take in your previous car.

628 You talk so much to your colleagues about your MGPs and your newly found online hybrid buddies that they now think you are in the "church of hybridology" cult.

629. You leave 15 mins earlier than before.

630. (related to 65). You shout your lungs out telling your spouse and kids that you are running late, but then drive slower than a scooter to reach the speed limit.

631. You no longer need to see a marriage counselor about communication problem. The topic "Honey, you know what MPGs i got today" always saves the day. WARNING...careful not to do this too often, or it will backfire. If you get a #18 above, you should try talking about how pretty she is (or handsome he is) instead just for a few minutes, and carry on. Think "pulse and glide"

632) You look at the stoplight crosswalk countdown timers more than pedestrians do.

633) you turn into a parking lot to let following traffic by and back out behind them to resume cruising at a fuel efficient speed.

634) being at the front at a red light is depressing but at the rear of a stopped pack, a joy.

635) On your trip to Hybridfest (where else would you go for summer vacation?) you spend less on gas than you do for tolls and parking.

Talking Re: You know you're a real hybrid owner when...

637: ...Your snack bill is higher than your fuel bill at the quik-stop.

638: ... You pull into a gas station just to watch a Hummer fill up.
