Dave: "What up dogg. Let's
head over to Mel's Tavern and throw back some Jager bombs."
Pat: "No can do, broski. I'm all out of cash. Had to fill up the Hummer 4 times this week at $4.50 a gallon."
Dave: "Whaaat? How can you go through that much
gas? You
don't even drive that much."
Pat: "Hypomiling, man, all the way. I loaded a half-ton of bricks into the trunk, added
air shields for
extra wind resistance, and of course a full-size fridge in the back that runs off
gas. Not to mention accelerating and braking as fast as possible and revving the engine at every stoplight. I've gotten this baby down to
2 miles a gallon!"
Dave: "Um...yeah, that's great, but now you're
broke."
Pat: "It's totally worth it! Yesterday I put together a poster of my
gas receipts and odometer readings, then showed it to a bunch of
people at Whole Foods. You should have seen the looks on their faces. Dirty hippies! I got them good! My carbon footprint is bigger than the Grand Canyon! Hahaha!!! Eat that, Al Gore! I am the greatest hypomiler alive!!! Mwhahahahaha!!!"
Dave: "Dude, you've really lost it this time."
