I used the ecomodder.com sticker as a stencil of sorts to spraypaint the address on my rear driverside passenger window (which does not open on the coupe), and I have sometimes posted my MPG average or my EM graph as a sticker on that side window, but small. Someone has to stop and read to see it. I have observed people in parkinglots and parked on the street looking at it, photographing it. But for the reasons people cite above, I do not make a display for cars behind me. My car is odd enough--sorta--in badges and visible mods that people can see something is up if they get behind me for a minute. They go around. I think my dark tint keeps them guessing who is inside and they just keep going. I don't get honked at, generally. But I don't drive super slow, either.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
