If someone threw me money so I'd speed up, I'd still be just as focused on getting good mileage as I am now.

It's not all about the money, and even if it was, it's still a matter of waste. Even if someone else is paying for your fuel, now you're just not wasting *your* money... you're wasting theirs. You're still wasting a valuable resource, though, no matter who's paying for it.

I understand that you were being slightly sarcastic when you typed that, but I intended to clear it a bit.
