Both for me. I was initially only interested in changing the car. Then I starting trying hypermiling techniques and couldn't believe the difference it made. Now I want every tank to be better than the last!

I used to be happy with 38 MPG, now I'm disappointed by a tank in the mid 50s.

I am more of a conservative. I see people purchasing a new (for instance) prius and thinking that they are saving the planet. What a crock. I am not picking on Prius as I might get one in 10 or 20 years.

One thing to remember is to teach your children so that they can teach their children. Don't be outbred by other less energy efficient people.
