I agree, after a dozen or so speeding tickets. I prefer to cruise by gas stations, and watch my Hybrid recharge the battery at each stop or coast down a hill.
In my younger years, I owned a 1977 Mercury Capri (the german version) . It had the 2.3L ford 4 cylinder pinto engine. After many modifications, ported heads, 4 BBL holley carb, and headers. It could go as fast as a 6 cylinder, but FE suffered. Car was unreliable as a daily driver.
Amazing how much calmer it is to drive a reliable, fuel efficent car and not have to look out for cops all the time.
