YKYAHM when...
... You do all your driving at such speeds, and accelerate at best BSFC, that you use 5th gear only for gentle engine braking.
... You go to a shop to repair a flat tire and the guy keeps repeating that your brakes need to be replaced because there are hardly any signs of usage on the rotors, so there must be something wrong with them. After seeing that he just doesn't understand what you're trying to explain about efficient driving, low speeds, coasting, engine braking, etc., you just shut up and smile and tell him it's a risk you are willing to take.
