Honestly, the way I view driving now is that it should be enjoyed while it lasts. I do not think our way of life will be the same in 10 years or maybe 15, but something is going to have to change and I have a feeling it won't be up to us.
Also, just a side note on the mpg.
I have 2 choices of routes to my work when I do drive.
The first is through 3 traffic lights, then a short stretch of 45 then 55 then back to 45 mph zones then to the highway for 4 miles.
The other way involves only 1 light and 1 stop sign and a long country road where the speed limit is equally split between 45 and 55 mph.
This is the way I go because I had heard a long time ago that, no matter the vehicle, 45 mph was the ultimate speed to drive. Above that, aerodynamics starts to rob your milage. After driving this route for a couple of months and never averaging above 21-22mpg, I doubt this is true any longer.
My last true all-highway-drive, I averaged 31 mpg and 70 mph. I was never gentle with the throttle, but I was also not in much stop-and-go traffic. It was also done approximately 70% at night with nice cool temps somewhere around the 55-65 degree farenheit area.
