Welcome to EM! The Echo is a great MPG machine. The Echo is a great MPG machine. The Echo is ... awww shucks.
I understand the "rear-view-mirror" stress, especially here in LA. Just tonight I got high-beamed by a Range Rover after repeatedly tapping the brakes while approaching a fast-impending traffic jam in my lane. I was actually protecting them by warning them. They just don't get it,
. I think my route is partially determined by it's relative calm, i.e. being able to drive slower with less traffic.
