What I don’t understand is how stupid people drive when gas prices are like the way they are. For example If the light im at just turns green and about 50 yards ahead another lights turns yellow I begin to start coasting due to the fact I know I will eentually have to wait at the light. I see people constantly fly right up to the light and go heavy on the brakes when they know its red. Strong dumbasses. No matter what I always try to accelerate somewhat slow and eventually get to my normal speed.

They are the same people who complain at the pump. They go to the doctor and they're told to lose weight and wonder why they have heart disease a couple years later when they didn't lose the weight. Humans seem to have lost their ability to adapt to the environment, due to our ability to adapt the environment to us...guess that one's coming back to bite us

I have been hypermiling as best I can and I got 300 miles on 9.5 gal a couple weeks ago in the 2001 Neon. But yeah, I don't go over 70 in a 65, I draft trucks when I get the chance to, I coast down hills and decelerate slowly up hills and I try to use my brakes a little as possible. I also go as far as shutting my car off when I get to lights that I know will take longer than 30 sec. We use a ton of gas while idling. That is what makes the hybrids so efficient.
