Ok so having read through this thread it seem people are way off base. I'm here because I want to be, I have no disrespect for anyone on either side of the matter. I would find it far more likely the haters don't disagree one bit about people wanting to get better mpg, they are more likely sick of getting stuck behind people that refuse drive the speed of traffic or take forever to get up to speed after a stop. I know it drives me insane, at $40/hr time is money and I have places to be regardless of what that means in fuel costs. But that does not mean I'm not interested in saving some money either.
I'm not sure why someone doing what they can to get better millage while being in a hurry is supposed to be funny...
Btw hardly anyone is spending 20k on making a car fast and most people that build a car for hp don't get as bad of millage as this thread would have people believe either, and the ones that do generally are not daily drivers. Its a hobby and something for entertainment, not general transportation.
