Confessions of a Wayward Hyper-Miler

Last spring, when gas was over $4.00 a gallon, I started paying attention to my gas mileage a little more. Queen of My Universe got me a computer to hook up to the Korean Tiger’s brain which computes real-time gas mileage. I was having a lot of fun with it, driving slow [...]
