Driving in Chicagoland
Is a real pain for hypermiling. Everyone street races from one light to the next not realizing that they are not getting anywhere fast. I am constantly getting flicked off, yelled at, and why do people think they can push their bumper through my car. I just try to smile when I pass them because they pick a wrong lane. I smile when I know you are getting piss poor gas mileage. I smile when I hear someones brakes grind. My 200,000 mile honda accord getting 35mpgs and 550 miles per tank is getting to the same place you are with out the stress, with lowered maintenance, with less gas! I have to drive for a living, and I thought at one point I could win all the races, that was 26mpg ago. Thanks for this forum. I have totally changed my ways and I am completely reformed. I will start ecomodding next, running some experiments on lowering the drag coefficient of the Honda.
Note. my spell checker doesn't know what to do with "hypermiling" and "ecomodding". Funny
