You are eco-driving your pickup truck (smallest engine, smallest cab, manual transmission) while running it on ethanol, towing a homebuilt electric car back from an Earth Day Car show to put an electric motorcycle in the bed of the truck to show off at ANOTHER Earth Day Car Show, STILL get better fuel economy than the average car, are in the cold rain all day at that second car show and STILL manage to have a good time.

(There. That actually was my weekend.)
