For me, I look at the above post, and I'm thinking of the $ that could have been saved if you had been gentler: no clutch, or brake replacement...
I propose a driver's side quarter window sticker similar to what new cars have, but with the predominate mpg info as suggested on the earlier page here.

I still coast a heck of a lot, and generally my speed has bled down before I hit the brakes. I go fast, but not to a stoplight, congested roads, etc. Really, I only go fast when I know nothing will be slowing me down any time soon. I'm positive I wear my brakes at a much slower rate than average. Nearly all TSX owners complain of prematurely worn brakes, but I don't experience this.
Really like the idea of posting a sticker that brags about MPG. This is something to be proud of and encourage others about.
Ultimately though, economic forces will drive conservation and not enlightenment.
