YKYAEI ...

Instead of pitching in for gas for your buddies car, you offer to check his tire pressure and drive his car for him.

When a SUV speeds up to pass you to stop at the light that is already red then floors it when it turns green just to make the next turn into the gas station, and all you can do is laugh at the irony while thinking at least she waited till after 8pm to fillup (smog alert).

When you rationalize a performance handling modification as an ecomod because you can now coast through turns faster and use the breaks less.

you giggle at the gas pump
you make fun of the family driving the Toyota Sequia that gets 15 MPG and you can go 3 1/3 times further on their tank of gas
you don't fear filling up at the gas station

... you drive over 2000 miles every month and only fill up 4-5 times per month in your car that has only a 10 gallon tank.
