HAHAHA! I've done that!

You know you're an ecomodder if...
...you smile and wave at bicycle and scooter riders.
...you know how to convert a Geo Metro into an EV by transplanting forklift components...just from reading an online thread.

You go the the gas station more often for snacks, soda and other needs more often than fuel..

I stopped the other night to pick up some milk on the way home, they always always ask if you have fuel.. I said nope, I should be able to get another 300 miles out of my 6 gallons thats left in the tank

The cashier didn't even think and just rang up my milk.. hopefully after i left it registers that 6 gallons at 300 miles is 50mpg..

when your favorite fish in the world is a boxfish..

when you cant believe crysler/Dodge (the 80's econobox kings) best EPA rated car is only 32mpg..

when you look out at the cars in parking lots looking for that car that really looks like a great project car for areomods.

I'm not an ecomodder, I don't know what DWL is.

You cringe and shake your head when a commercial touts 32 MPG as being 'class leading "

You are more concerned with the underside of the car than the cars 0-60 time.
