I particularly notice how un-ecomodically people drive when sitting in traffic on the highway. Its great to see people slow down to a stand still, then speed up to 55-60 only to come to a stand still again a half mile down the highway... kind of like a flowing slinky. Meanwhile, i maintain about 30-40mph and just cruise along, watch people fly by me, sometimes giving me a "why the heck are you driving so slow" gesture, and then ill catch back up to them when they are stopped. It kind of sets off that inner ecomodder in you .

Sometimes when sitting at stoplights, i want to say to the driver around me "Was it really worth racing to this red light?", or "Was it really worth riding that guys ass?".

Some people will never get it. Maybe when gas hits $5.00/gal they'll understand.
