Light changes, accelerate like you and Brandon Bernstein are in finals at Pomona- next light already red 500 feet away.

On the freeway the mofo is on and off the throttle and brakes like a funny car in tire shake due to traffic flow so he can gain 50 feet in 1/2 a mile.

The complainers about gas prices have no idea when they last checked their tire pressure for optimum performance and unless some light tells them have never had anything like a "tune up " performed on their crate.

And as they drive on the streets they are actively accelerating 150 feet from a stop sign and have no concept what coasting or freewheeling is.

If the a-holes that do this stuff actually learned how to drive they could save a gallon or 2 per tank at least. But no, it's more logical to blame somebody else and play the victim.

I see that all the time - and often from those drivers in cars that are but a step or two from the salvage yard. I have a gas hog and drive it like I have a raw egg under my right foot - and of course get the nasty looks from the soccer moms in their Expeditions, Escalades and minivans rushing their kids from one activity to another. The worst seem to be the diesel pick up truck owners that want to "show" me in my V10 how great their trucks are - with their $4.39 fuel vs my $3.32 gas and their 12 mpg vs. my 12 mpg. Oh yeah. then there are the M-B, BMW and Lexus owners.........

Dave, we must be driving the same roads and living the same lives. The crap you have witnessed and the conclusions drawn are virtually the same down here where I am. Just this morning I watch a DA in a honda lying less than a foot off of the rear bumper of a van both moving along at 80 mph. I would have loved to see what would have happened if the van driver had hit the brakes to take a call.

I don't have that many years left in my life to act like a fool behind the wheel of any car.

I'm 2 miles from I-87 and see those idjits do that all the time. Luckily I drive a BIG pick up truck and for sure will do more damage to them if they tailgate and I have to stop quick - I think it's an epidemic attitude

Its April 9th and its 3.45 for 87 octane in Lafayette Indiana.

3.69 here
