I used A/C to defog the wind screen this morning, but no heat until the engine neared the spill point of the radiator valve. I did not heat my car; I made it colder!
But it wasn't very cold today...

... when, after boosting your neighbour's dead battery, he thanks you and says, "I appreciate it even more because I know it hurt your fuel economy a little."  |

When you let other people drive your car and they start to tailgate people, and race to stop lights and you cringe the whole time! haha

Yes! Or when your vehicle goes over the speed limit for the first time since you've owned the car. (except for coasting down hills)

YKYAEM when...
Your fuel consumption is too low to convert at sites like this one: Fuel consumption conversion table
We recently got back from a trip with 2.8 l/100km, over 400km. That breaks the magical 100 mpg(imp) barrier
Now I need to attack the 100 mpg(US) target.
