Okay, I'll stir the fire. We all hail Basjoos for his aeromodding. He did it so that he can drive 70-75 MPH and still get good mileage. Why don't you all go bash him for driving so fast?
I may not like icarus' desire to go 70 instead of going 55. I may not agree with everything that he says/does. But he's here, and he's at least TRYING. Let's educate him slowly, instead of bashing him and pushing him out. None of us know his work schedule, background, life story, etc. Driving from Bloom U to Philly? I can understand why he'd want to go faster. Sure, slowing down will save him a minor horde of gas. If his car is similar to my Elantra, it'd be in the neighborhood of going from 32-35 MPG to 42-46 MPG. But, it would also mean he'd have a total of ~3 hours LESS time to spend with his daughter.
Which is worth more to you, an extra $15-$20 in your pocket and some bragging rights about awesome MPG, or the only sunny Sunday afternoon that you'll have for quite some time with your daughter who is away at school?
