Yeah, same here -- but a lot of folks don't have the time/oppportunity/willingness to join a forum -- so you have to "pound the pavement" grass-roots style (and follow-to up subtly to see how thing are progressing). Most, OK nearly all, folks I meet don't get the "passion for FE". Maybe that will change as the family budget is hit hard.

I'm proud to drive the oldest, highest mileage and FE car on the block. Other neighbors don't know what to think, since I'm rarely home -- but I speak to them on rare occasions and talk about the job, hobbies, FE, etc. Our close friends are the exception since we see them often.
