* You see a prius tucked in behind an 18 wheeler pull out, just so that it can overtake at about 5kph / less than walking speed faster than the truck, and think "fool!".

* You've worked out that on a commute including 25km of freeway, the difference between 90kph and 110kph would only 'save' you 3 minutes... and even then only if traffic would allow you to do exactly 110kph the whole way, which is unlikely.

* You see mechanical failures on a new-to-you car not so much as an inconvenience as a good excuse to upgrade by swapping in more mpg-friendly parts.
