I just slow down gradually until they get frustrated enough to pass me. Much easier and less dangerous.

I don't see many bumper stickers anymore... although I put some on my Civic. One read, "Walk in balance on Mother Earth," while the others were stickers I got for marshaling rally races up north. The motorsports balanced out the hypermiling.

I saw this online a couple of months ago, but forgot to post it. Of course when I saw it, I immediately thought of MetroMPG!

More a sort of a historical curiosity than a need. Like this one I see in my area sometimes:




I always get a laugh out of it.

proposed ideas: You pay WHAT for fuel monthly? REALLY?

Only crackheads and drunks race TO the next stoplight!

I could VACATION on the fuel you waste!


16 yr. olds can stab a gas pedal and steer
When will YOU mature and drive refined?

Jerky, spastic driving akin to: little man trying TOO
Hard to look macho in his big truck, PATHETIC!!!

My favorite was "The closer you get, ..... the slower I go", written in letters small enough to only see when they are tailgating.. If you put this into practice and they are smart enough to figure it out, it rewards the tailgater for backing off. You might not be going as fast as they like, but you'll be going even slower if they start playing proctologist with your bumper.

That is a standard one here in the UK.

Not entirely FE related but people who have done the Nurburgring have stickers, there is a pee-take version which says "Neverbeen"

We get base model cars with higher performance trim nameplates on them occasionally. Like the "SRT" we had in today with a V-6 under the hood. More of a perfauxmance mod than an eco mod and they don't do it as a joke, but hey- they get what they want (people thinking they've got a beast) while driving around with a more efficient engine.

Now that there's a speed limit on the Ring, it might as well say, "Neverwill."

Or...future site of Green Grand Prix International?
