YKYAEM...
...when a Nissan Xterra drives by with a boxy cargo bag on the roof and your first thought is "man his mileage must suck with that on there"
...when your full Jeep gets better mileage than your buddies' empty '03 Eclipse

I have been doing that, ever since I got pulled over for driving too slow (which isn't illegal, but cop assumed I was drunk)

What do you mean almost. Been blowing a week here, sometimes up to 70mph. Head winds hurt more than tail winds help.
