There are basically 2 ways to make driving fun and challenging: going fast, or going fuel efficient. Going fast is the rich man's pleasure. It is far more expensive for fast cars, fuel, maintenance, speeding tickets, potential accidents. Hypermiling is the poor man's pleasure. It's a ton cheaper than normal driving and more fun as well.
I am a bit of an idealist so there is no middle ground for me. I wanted the smallest, most basic, no power features, standard transmission car that can fit a giant inside. Very lucky for me, I discovered the Geo Metro and I got a car that is only 4 years younger than me and fit all my needs quite perfectly. <3
So probably... 80% A, 20% D. I do not care much about my emissions. Even though I am a biologist I hate the majority of "green" people who are just all talk compromisers, intellectually dishonest, and/or plain stupid.
