I DO still intend on continuing ecomodding (vehicle modifications), however, I was talking about decreasing the intensity of my hypermiling (driving modifications). I'll still intend on driving efficiently, but just not to the extreme levels I have been.
There are several reasons for this, which I won't get into fully here, but most of them stem from the fact that my personality is such that I tend to push things to extremes. When I do something, I go all out. When I was younger and played video games I didn't play that many games, but those I did I would beat every level to perfection or I wasn't happy. When I was in college I channeled it into academics and got staight A's for 4 straight years. There are also some negative examples, but I won't share those
It can be a blessing or a curse depending on how I channel it. I guess what I'm saying is that I've learned I need to set some boundaries for myself--particularly in the hypermiling department, otherwise I'm going to push things too far.
If this current tank (which should finish up this week) comes in as I suspect it will, I think I'll have proven just about everything there is to prove, and it'll be time for me to back off and take a breather.
