I have a feeling the rest of the cars on the freeway started going faster too, but maybe it's just because I started using the lanes with faster cars in them lol.
Funny thing is, since I'm so used to going slow and saving fuel, I have a much stronger urge to do some highway friendly mods to my car now that I can hear the wind noise and see the rev counter at an uncomfortably high place.

I've started going 60 instead of 70-85 since I've started hypermiling. I don't have the courage to do 55 yet (too slow man) and have saved tons of fuel. Weird thing is that once I started doing that, gas prices have been dropping, so I guess that leaves more money in my pocket
The hardest thing about going slow is that if I wanted to draft from a truck, I have to speed up to 70 to catch up. Oh well, guess that means that I've got some modding to do to balance out the lack of draft.
