Why are we talking about mods in the driving technique thread?

Aha - but the tip suggests "orbiting" a parking area. So the landing spot isn't necessarily any further away.
This tip sure gets people commenting. I need to put an asterisk beside it:

It's a band-aid that only serves to slightly goose your MPG numbers in those rare cases where you overcook it and come into a parking situation with too much momentum. Next time, pay attention, bonehead, and don't use more fuel than you have to in the first place. ."
