[Vwdiesel] diesel prices and my latest MPG

[brian gochnauer]

Well at least your in the 'right' lane (pun intended), LOL
Seems there is a group of drivers (restricting freedoms of others) by
policing those who like to go faster than them by cruising in the left lane,
matching speeds with cars in the right lanes trying to keep everybody slowed
down, even saw a suburban doing this! but usually its a sub-compact or
prius.
arrrrrgh.... guess that would be the stress you've let go of. :)

p.s. like your tag line, Hayden
