Can these econuts get ANY more tedious? Sadly, the answer is Yes, they can! Powerline has had an ad lately linking to a videogame for eco-friendly driving. And lefty websites are bragging how they’re beating Powerline in their lame little contest. Morons.
I can certainly understand people’s desire to save gas. It’s better for their wallet, and better for the ecology. No sense polluting if they don’t have to, right? It’s a lovely theory, and if the miniscule amount of gas you save makes you feel better, then by all means, enjoy yourselves.
But GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!1!!11! if you’re not going to drive the legal limit or if you’re going to drift along aimlessly like a Sunday driver. All that s l o o o o w acceleration drives me wild. My time is valuable to me and you sanctimonious idiots are taking it without my consent.
If you people were serious about the not using fossil fuels you’d be out there protesting and lobbying Congress to make it possible to build nuclear plants right now. You think France is just keen for all sorts of things, but your silence is deafening on the fact that they run on nuclear power and they’re doing just fine, thank you. No, what you really enjoy is to control other people while feeling oh-so-smug and superior, and hypermiling is the perfect way for you to do so in your day to day lives. Jerks.
I don’t understand why you chose that picture.
Because when I’m behind a hypermiler, I wish I was driving the deathmobile; something from which I could leap out of the top, dressed in a pirate suit and cause mayhem.
