umm no in 6th gear overdrive my car is turning around 1800-1900 rpm and gets around 23-24 mpg freeway. my truck on the other hand is turning 3800 rpm in 5th gear overdrive and gets about 11-12 mpg on the freeway.
I also don't weave in and out of traffic I drive pretty normal I learned my lessons of driving like a idiot in my early 20's now that I am older I don't sweat the small stuff and if I do drive fast it is not during rush hour or with tons of traffic around because that is stupid and asking for trouble.

Ok. Very reasonable response. So why give the other poster grief for being cautious and , IMO, legal?
Road rage is out of control in some regions of the country. People just seem to be mad, as you can tell by the excessivespeed being driven, the horn blasts, the "you're not getting ahead of me" bullying tactics. The highways are getting more like Dodge City everyday. I'm telling you people are just nuts anymore. Stupid, stupid stuff. Although it's impossible, somedays I wish cars (and other vehic) would just vanish from the earth. A shame because my livelyhood depends on cars and trucks.
Don't cut people off like an *******, plan your exit strategies before the exit is 100 ft away, and you wont get your car kicked to ****.
You remind me of the people that wait until the last second to merge, just so you can get ahead of everything, while delaying responsible individuals.
That's why I carry legal weapons in my vehicle, **** with me and you are going to have trouble. There is no reason to be ignorant in public, whether in a car or not. If you **** up, apologize through gestures and the situation will probably disappear.

I say this through many years of driving experience through all types of areas, suburban and city alike. I was in a hit-and-run motorcycle accident, and countless situations where a person does not pay attention over their shoulder and switches lanes abruptly, forcing me out of my lane. Pay attention to the road.
I am so pissed off right now. Last night when I was coming home, I was merging onto the interstate, there was heavy traffic so I had to merge in and out of lanes to get over once my exit was coming up in a little while. I went to merge into the right lane and some a**hole blows his horn because I cut him off.
act like a responsible driver and this wont happen.
ill bet youre one of those jerks that thinks theyre entitled to speed and break the law in the left lane, and if anyone gets in your way theyre at fault despite going the limit, right?
