It's not a confession, consider it new frontier to explore and perfect. You will find that every part of your vehicle will last longer and you will save on replacements of parts you used to wear out at an astounding rate. Driving efficiently will make you a much better driver and might even save your life as well as your passengers, or avoid serious injuries.

In my lifetime of almost 62 years something like 2,000,000 people have died on US highways. Many more have suffered a lifetime as the result of serious injuries caused by poor driving habits. While vehicles have become much more safe, drivers have many more distractions that did not exist decades ago.

Welcome to our obsession. In my youth I was a wild man and drove some very powerful cars like a 67 383 Formula S Barracuda that got 10 MPG no matter how you drove it.
When the first energy crunch hit in 1973 I started driving more efficient cars and now people fall asleep riding in my car.
