Dating as a Hypermiler (funny story)
I thought you all would find this funny.
I recently took a girl on a date in my car. I was trying to drive as 'normal' as possible to avoid the questions, but apparently it wasn't enough because she eventually asked me why I was coasting so much, why I was "driving so slow," and she asked about my Scanguage. Without a good excuse, I told her that I hate spending money on gas and that I log my fuel mileage. Apparently she is not as concerned with fuel economy as I am.
Needless to say if anyone on this forum is a college student, avoid hypermiling on the first date! Hypermiling should be added to Religion and Politics on the list of things to avoid on a first date. Fortunate for me, this date wasn't going too well anyway.
I'm not sure of everyone's age or marital status on here, but has anyone else encountered a similar story? Do you or have you had to sacrifice your fuel economy numbers for the sake of love? Or does your hypermiling drive your significant other crazy?
