People want to have their cake and eat it too. This is typical human behavior and is quite frustrating to the rationally-minded. I've often said that intelligence is a curse...
I get pretty good MPGs and don't drive at all like a grandma. I'm usually the fastest one off a line, in the fast lane on the highway, and arrive at my destination just about as fast as one could reasonably go. The only difference between my driving and any other person is that I anticipate traffic, look ahead at lights, memorize patterns, and do as much engine-on coasting as possible. Ok, that and a tiny bit of PnG. Oh, and I take corners at much higher speeds than most people.
I could surely get better MPGs, but I really don't want to sacrifice significant time to obtain it.
