In January I didn't know what a hypermiler was and now I is one. Like any change it will not happen overnight, and yes, there will be much weeping, wailing and nashing of teeth, but in the end the world will change. I do not take it to heart when when someone is short with me on the road (Ok, I try not to, but, yes I am human). Their lives are changing and they really don't understand why, they will, just not yet. It must be someone's fault, probably those guys in their little cars that seldom stop at gas stations. It is getting through to some, like the guy who went on vacation and rented a Yaris and had to tell me what a great little car it was. He's going to get one and only use the truck for hauling, or the woman that listened for an hour as I told her about Ecomodder com. and then asked how to find it on the web. They will need time. This has been going on for a hundred years. I am an old man. I feel their pain. I remember paying 18 cents for a gallon of gas in the 60's in Nebraska. Me, my father and his father always had all the gas they needed or wanted and they were encouraged to buy more. My mother had a set of dishes she got with each fillup. It will take time to get over.
