Good for you! Saving gas even when it's not your own
I just hate it when the last car in a long string stops to let you pass, so when waiting at a crosswalk I pretend to be looking elsewhere.
Or when the second to last one stops fouling up the guy behind him. Then he floors it around that guy wasting more fuel.

You know you're an Ecomodder
If you really can't be bothered
Because the neighbours say
That your car is lookin' frightful
'Cause your mileage is delightful
It's the Ecomodder way
It's aluminum and plastic
And a gooey kind of mastic
That didn't set quite right
It's your own divine creation
That goes breezin' past gas stations
It's what Ecomodders drive
I could go on, but I think that's quite enough.

YKYAEM when you look forward to winter when the leaves fall off the trees--not for any asthetic reason, but because now you can see red lights around corners!
