I think being mocked by loved ones comes with the territory. Of course, my dad, and my girlfriend's stepdad were both intrigued that I actually saw modest gains from putting cut up election signs on the front of my car. Every gained mile per gallon counts!

On the other hand, my girlfriend, I think, thinks I'm a dumbass. Of course, I remind her that she has no right to complain about $4.25 gas if she continues to drive like a jerk. Then, she gets angry. You wouldn't like when she's angry. She could save a car payment a year by just driving more sensibly.
