I used to drive all crazy too, racing on the highway, drifting corners, until I pushed it too far one day, took a corner at 55 (which was marked for 15) and flipped a mid-size pick-up truck with my '85 civic hatchback, totaling both vehicles.

But these days I find hypermiling to be just as challenging and engaging and fun as high speed driving was, but with the upside of saving cash and the bonus of being good to life on Earth
