I do it just for the evil laughs, the schadenfreude against the BMW-strebers who always has to be first to the next traffic light! -They are as quick on the throttle as they are total losers at planning their driving so I often get the final laugh when I just pass them smoothly, again and again. The fuel I save is instead burned by them.
No, honestly, I love the game of continously improving my skills. I perform "burn & glide" (P&G, B&C) and "driving without brakes" to such degree that my 40 year old Saab with stock engine gives me 56 mpg (slightly above 4 litres per 100 km). I love to se how the practical skills match engine and combustion theories. The hunt for BSFC bull's eye!
The right for bragging is a nice bonus and I just love to be a complete ecodriving geek. I don't se how my little contribution can help the growing enviroment problems, world economy or politics, but showing other people what actually can be done quite easily can definitely be a good start!
