You get upset with others when they accelerate to red lights after repeatedly reminding them that it is a complete wast of fuel. If we could all JUST do that. . . . . .

...if you see a camry hybrid with a license plate reading "39 mpg" and you're insulted that they need to advertise it when you're gas only car is beating theirs by 10mpg on a good tank.

After costing to a stop sign in neutral. You put it back in drive, but after a 1/4 mile or so you quickly look down becouse you don't rember putting it back in drive & still think its in neutral.

You're looking for new ways to express your milage to make it sound even more impressive

42 MPG = 377 leagues per barrel = 846,720 rods per hogshead ;D
