Whenever the subject arises in conversation I tell saving gas is my hobby. It is a challenge, it puts focus and pleasure into my daily commute.
Best of all, it saves me money.
And then I ask what hobbies my communication partner has. Usually I just get a grin as they realize they were outsmarted and we leave that question as a rhetorical remark
