The ones who tell you what great mileage they get and how they are saving the planet at 60 mph on the highway while driving in the right lane while grousing about people like me who blast past them at 80.
The ones do all the trumpeting about the environment and drive 60 in the left lane and try to keep people from passing them whenever possible
And the ones who drive 80-90 on the highway (proud of their big 35 mpg at such high speeds) but slow down on hills and still won't move over.
They ALL think they are driving real cars instead of glorified golf carts.
The Pious is a nice little commuter rat and gets great mileage if you drive in stop and go traffic. The ones I've rented and used in mixed driving in traffic and freeway seem to get between 35 and 45 mpg with my lard butt in the seat and my heavy foot on the loud pedal. This isn't bad, but it would take 10 years to make up the difference in fuel prices compared to my wife's 9-5 or my 9K. Plus the ridiculous price of the Pious to begin with. And they can't tow anything.
