Your vehicle does NOT run at optimum efficiency between 40 and 20 mph.  I 
did NOT say "punch the car to 60."  That's reframing and you know it.  You 
said, paraphrased, that you were lollygagging along because somehow *you* 
have decided that slow is better.  In a motor vehicle, slow is not 
necessarily better, efficient or ecologically sound.

Seriously, you'd have us believe that someone doing 60 and who would thus 
take 20 minutes to go the 20 miles is left sitting at a stop light long 
enough for the fella doing 25 who took almost an hour to get there?  You've 
got a stop light that stays red for 30 or more minutes just so you can get 
to town and catch up with them?  And every speed racer just happens to time 
it such that they always hit the red light?  Come on now, that's as 
imaginative as the folks who spend the hundreds for the tomato and think 
they're saving money!
