And sometimes the "Need for speed" is too tempting, and I enjoy a speedy drive once in a while. But at certain prime hypermiling spots along the way I still hypermile. I will get way better mileage then EPA when I enjoy a fast drive, but I STILL HAVE to enjoy myself once in a while. It's worth an extra dollar for me. And the music is a MUST when I'm by myself! Numbers aren't everything. Don't get me wrong, my goal is still 35 MPG average. But the journey there needs to be fun, or I will never get there! : )
Always remember to enjoy what you bought the car for.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
