Anybody else OCD over the digital MPG gauge?

Channel this OCD behavior onto something else like making it sound good and go faster instead of your guages.

Ha Ha, my DD is an 05 Civic hybrid and all I did the first year was watch the MPG gauge and try to get as good a gas mileage as I could. I even intentionally tailgated semi and drove 55 or below on the freeways. With that, I was able to consistently reach 47+ MPG average over a full tank. It's called "miling" in hybrid circles.

Compare the Z to that, what's the point? Enjoy the power and speed; forget the MPG.

Of course, my problem now is I try to drive the hybrid like the Z in my daily commute and it just won't go as fast for some reason.
