Default Driving Habits

What are your driving habits like?

I seem to have picked up a heavier foot on the highway. [&:]

oh btw i noticed they say that if you drive the speed limit your getting better mpg...but does it really matter how fast you're going if your engine is at like 2k rpm's? I thought high rpm's killed gas...

I tend to have a led foot because I love this little car. By the way, the first rule of driving should be put in bold letters in 72 font in the driving manual: IF YOU ARE GOING TO DRIVE SLOWER THAN OTHERS, STAY IN THE FU**ING RIGHT LANE DUMBA**ES!

You have no idea how many people don't follow that rule in my city and it annoys the hell out of me. Especially when two slow cars are side by side.

i drive within the posted speed limits on post. offpost ill do like 5 over. so im no speed demon, but i wont hesitate to go around someone being stupid. people waiting to turn left i will go around. people who sit at an intersection way too long i will go around as well. while i dont fly, i hate wasting time being dumb.

LOL.
Sometimes I feel like driving fast and other times I don't. If I do speed, I'll choose the right places.

i always like getting on the freeway. Cuz you have to smash to get up to speed: then before i know it im at like 90. i usually drive about 5-10 over posted speed limit though depends where i am. you tend to learn where toand where not to speed.

I drive at the speed limit in the city. On the highway I usually do about 5 over, because my car is a cop magnet. Sometimes I will hammer it up to the speed limit, but the majority of the time I shift at 2800-3200 rpms. About a month ago I was turning onto the highway and the guy in front of me did something that irritated me, almost took the whole light or something to go so I got kind of ticked so I hammered it a bit from a stop and spun the tires and barked them a bit. My friend was riding with me and told me there was a cop sitting at the light going the opposite direction. He didn't come after me luckily.
