A new perspective on Pulse and Glide

I really do not like being in anyone's way, whether driving, in a store, or whatever, although I do not feel too bad when I prevent others from breaking the law, and since I walk faster than some jog, and some never even jog, usually people are in my way [on foot].

When my UltraGauge showed my total mileage going down I started working harder and harder to keep it high. It currently says 27 MPG, which I figure is actually mid twenty-fives.

My last tank was right at twenty-four. I guess that highway EPA is not bad for mixed driving on winter fuel, but I am not happy with it.

Anyway, I finally decided that people should not be behind me anyway, so if my pulsing-and-gliding encourages them to pass, so be it!
