    The hardest part of hypermiling/ecodriving is not the techincal stuff.

    The hardest part is to resist the urge to race - you could say it's spiritual.

    It's definitely behaviorial- don't cave in to the herd mentality - it can be done and it's not sucidal....if it's sucidal it taking me more than three years to die. :p

    By racing, I mean speeding, weaving, saving every nanosecond regardless of the gas wasted.

    If you want to meet/exceed the EPA, you gotta give up racing.

    I always win... they see Hemi Hybrid on my fenders and back off. Way off. No, I do not have a Hemi in it, just the chrome fender call outs off a 69 Hemi GTX. Got em off Ebay a while back. Glued them on with double sided tape.

    A hemi badge on a Prius? I like it. :)

    People are pretty gullible. If you had the 426 in the hatch, that would be one thing.

    Just to be confusing, I'll hypermile to an event tonight and wear jacket #24 (Jeff Gordon) - go slow - look fast. :D

    I want to get a set of those fuel injector kits for the exhaust so I can have flames coming out the back.

    That will be so cool on a Prius. (Just kidding)
