YKYAEM if.......

while getting ticked off at a overly aggressive driver you chase them down with the intention of giving them a piece of your mind and yet you still pop the tranny into neutral when you start to go down a slight downhill to save gas.........after burning about a gallon of the stuff to chase the guy down.........whom I never caught.......oh well, maybe burning out some carbon might help.
