Hypermilers

The MFers are in the wrong lanes with their overinflated tires...

I don't have a problem with them as long as they don't impede traffic (causing the rest of us to use more gas because of the speeding up/braking)... but putting everyone else at risk because they've increased their stopping distance to save a few fvcking pennies is retarded.

You want to save gas? Pedal your ass to work...

How is increasing stopping distance putting everyone at risk?

If you don't like the way Hypermilers drive, go around.

Same reason why bald tires aren't safe... I really don't want to be rearended by these shitdicks in traffic...

i'm up and down on this. some days i get my panties in a knot, want to floor it the whole way to work, get your standard road rage...

other days, i just want to chill the fuck out, go easy on the gas and easy on the brakes. and you know what ? i feel a million times better about myself and walk out of my car feeling chill and relaxed.

and for some stupid reason, the next day i'm driving like a flaming piece of shit who is too good for everyone else on the road. but dude, give it a try, try driving like one of those shitdicks and you may realise that driving ain't worth shitting a brick over.

and besides, having a car full of shit bricks is bad on gas mileage

Increasing the tire pressures do not greatly increase stopping distances.

And while hypermilers like to tailgate large trucks (stupid in my opinion) for the most part they like to leave extra space between them and the car in front because they want to coast to a stop without the brakes. The last thing they will do is rearend you.

Mr. Spicoli, I hope you brought enough pizza for the whole class.

I don't have a problem with them at all as long as they stay in the slow lane. For example teh speed limit does say MAX 60mph or MAX 100km/h. So if you're driving 120km/h or 70mph you're going over the speed limit and shouldn't complain about someone driving a touch under the speed limit. See my point?


Basically if you drive over the speed limit you shouldn't complain about someone driving a bit under the speed limit to save gas!

I actually drove all hwy Km i went 520km on 23L of gas that's 52.97 MPG. I was quite amazed as I never drive to save gas.
