"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...

Hello All, I am a new member who has been lurking a long time time. I am currently saving up for a 6th gen GT and own an 07 Toyota Yaris. I consistently get 41-45 MPG in the car and thats the reason I got the car. The Celica would be my fun car and I would not worry about MPG as much. However, people who want increased mpg are not the people to dislike. Think about it, if some people get great mileage, some average, and some poor then it averages out. The hypermilers who get extreme mpg help keep our gas prices realitvey low. It is all about supply and demand.

My 2 cents.


oh dude, were just joking around. thats all.

BTW...Welcome.

Back to the topic.
