My parents always tell me about getting 30 MPG in their Eldorados when they drive up the Eastern Shore to Maryland to do a little gambling. Brother gets 46 MPG in his Prius.
I have converted a few, but I still have a brother that drives a Nissan Pathfinder to work, about a 50 miles round trip at 15 MPG if he is lucky.
Even today a Toyota Tacoma blows by me with a red light ahead, then whips over into my lane so I can't coast down to allow the traffic to get up to speed. After a couple of more miles and 3 more instances where I coast past him while the traffic starts to move away from the light, he finally gets ahead of me for the last time. I don't quit trying to teach people that it takes very little real effort to increase your mileage by 25% for most people, and they are usually surprised when they ride in the car when I am driving.
My step daughter was amazed watching me getting 35 MPG in her Murano at 60 MPH on the Interstate.
Do you think a book on efficient driving would actually sell?
