Been driving more assertively lately

It all started after I went with my cousin and he was driving my car to 80km/hr in second gear. I was like WTF, you should be in 5th gear by then dude, don't blow up my engine please.

Anyways, I started accelerating a bit harder, blowing by cars from the stop (not fast ones just normal ones lol), staying in lower gears for like 10-20km/h longer, swerving in traffic, etc. Still trying to avoid stopping as much as possible without conflicting with my fun, and I stay around 90 km/h on the highway unless drafting.

Based on 3 tanks now it seems my MPG went up slightly compared with before. And it's more fun to drive.
