lol It's kinda funny you say that because even though my friends don't care much about MPG in their hot rods or trucks, they all started magically checking MPG at the pump after I started getting active on this forum and showing up to the shop with duct tape on my Saturn. They still don't care that much but at least it's in the back of their mind. 1 Friend always gets mad after his wife drives his truck and the average MPG on the dash shows a higher number than when he drives it and makes a frowny face when I say "maybe she's just a better driver than you" lol.
