you bought a second car specifically for ecomodding, but you still ecomod your "good car."

when you need to stop for fuel on the highway, you try to pick a gas station that you can engine-off-coast into.

when you're on a long trip, you time your eating/drinking so you'll need to pee at the same time you need to fuel up. that way, you won't have to stop and start for time for two a pit stops.

on overnight trips, you pack light because you don't want to carry extra weight.

your eyes are so fixated on the beautiful Metro in the oncoming lane that you don't even notice the Porsche riding your tail and flashing its headlights.
