I am cheap.
My wife says I got a leaf because I'm "compensating".

I was attempting to help the discussion in a Jeep forum where a member was asking for ways to improve FE. All of the comments wrote me off, or dismissed saving fuel as possible or even worthwhile.

I have found a lot of jeep people to be slightly retarded, not usually severe and profound, well maybe just a few.
Ecomodding a vehicle is just as possible as turning a jeep into a more off road capable, on road death trap.
Something as simple as swapping the off road only super swamper mudder tires they always run and putting on a set of highway tires saves fuel.
God they're retarded.
