    I'm starting to do that again in the ZHP...

    I realize that when I drive eco-friendly, I am much calmer. I've been losing my patience with morons on the roads too much recently (daily basis) and have been doing stupid things to get around them, so I'm shifting into Prius driver mode so I could keep myself in check. See Derek, you're being a good influence on me.

    LOL BP.


    Here are a few more that seem obvious but sometimes we never think about it and don't do it.

    -Accelerate going downhill vs uphill to use gravity as your advantage. Surprisingly I find myself not doing this alot and just wanting to keep up with traffic.

    -Scan a 1 mile ahead and plan out your coast. Even if there is a massive gap, chances are in heavy traffic, it will slow down yet again and you wasted all that gas to accelerate going up to speed.

    -Learning traffic patterns in the best. The heavy traffic areas near me, I noticed no one likes the right 2 lanes because they are eventually going to exit about 2miles away. I use those lanes and skip a ton of traffic to enter near the exit..like an asshat but not that close so it doesn't look obvious I was doing it.

    Honestly I drive so many miles a year like you BP, I tend to play the "no brakes" game and see how long I can drive without the brakes. Speeding only usually gives me 4-5 minutes extra when I get home but in reality its probably spent doing absolutely nothing. I think I benefit with 500 miles tanks more than saving time in the Prius..

    The 330i on the other hand..I'll drive fast.

    Were it not for the fear of death by Prius, I probably would walk.
