Ice Twister quote

so I was watching this movie on TV called "Ice Twister". Reviews say it wasn't a very good movie, but I thought it was pretty interesting. Guess I have low standards. Anyway, about 6 minutes in there was a pretty cool quote!

I looked it up to see if anyone noticed this phrase, and this is all i found. apparently, it's not a very popular movie.

Time - Phrase

00:06:41 Can we drop it? I'm done.

00:06:43 So is the book signing if we don't hurry.

00:06:45 Hurry? You've been driving like my grandma.

00:06:47 I'm hypermiling, okay?

00:06:49 Going 55 miles an hour gets me an extra 50 miles per tank of gas.

Even if few people have seen the film, it gives me hope that hypermiling is becoming more mainstream. Even if it's still in a negative connotation.
