This is so true, but very rarely mentioned or talked about.

The better your mpg gets, the more traps lurk in the shadowy areas of your commute - or they just hurt more when they get you.

Examples:

- hills you barely noticed before hypermyling look like the Alps when looking at the SG

- drivers forcing you to brake and re-accelerate get promoted from 'idiots' to major felons

- slight headwinds make you grind your teeth

and so on...

Sorry for the OT - could not resist
