I do it to keep my cost of living low...just a fancy way of saying I'm cheap, lol. I also like the fact that I'm contributing to the reduction in the use of gasoline in general too.

I would have to say all of the above + some.
|
We sold our truck and bought the 5 for all of the reasons above, but just plain nerdiness and engineering compell me to keep futzing with it.
If I get to put disc wheel covers or rear wheel fairings on the car, I will have pulled something off with my wife. She is however already impressed that I can match the FE of the hybrid Escape we sold last year. |
Who doesn't want to save the world while saving a few buck?
|
money, environment, and my way of sticking it to big oil punks. I also just moved like 20 miles across town, and have to drive quite a bit more to and from work. So I am hoping to get good enough to even it out a bit, Oh and I also quit smoking may 18th. So I am helping the environment in 2 ways! LOL!

I think alot of you are correct...
Big oil sucks... rich fat bastards... thats why!
|
ALL OF THE ABOVE!
It was hard to choose just one option. I ultimately want to lower my greenhouse emissions while saving money, but once I started I began to enjoy competing with myself and bragging to my friends.:rolleyes: It's all good. Shannon (slowmomma) |
Ranking preference might have made a better poll.
1. I like the technical challenge. 2. I like saving money. 3. I apparently like to brag about my mileage. Sometimes I tell people that don't care :D . |
what got me here was the money. but it went into saving the earth and trying to get better each tank
i just wish there was a all of the above because its so true for me!! |
Motives
#1 -- Environmental impacts, including emissions
#2 -- I love the challenge of driving and learning about the car (making my own repairs, interpreting the ECU, TCU, etc.) + I needed to slow down a be more calm behind the wheel (really helped out) #3 -- GasSavers is a great place to hang out -- so the sense of community has a good perk #4 -- Saving money is a fringe benifit RH77 |
