"Drafting"? You mean tailgating dangerously close?
Shutting your car off while in motion? Are they really serious? I'm all for increasing fuel milage, but driving habits like these are insanely dangerous to other motorists, let alone yourself...

Over here, almost 90% of what we pay at the pumps is tax. On top of that, we pay annual road tax of £200 for a 2.0L Celica, now Blair and his mob of thieves want us to pay per mile! (and we're talking £1.50 a mile here folks) on top of all the other tax. I've worked this out, it's gonna cost me something like £1300 a month to get to work!! Oh and there's next to no public transport to get me there so I've got no choice. It's either that or the dole queue! Good eh?
