    When someone asks me if the Helmet gets good gas mileage ( usually when I'm pumping 93 octane into it) my reply is "yep, on premium I get about 130 miles per hour" with a response that looks a lot like a deer in the headlights.

    People always ask me about the mileage and always reply: "I don't care!"

    OK, I'm jumping on the bandwagon. My hair is thinning, I've got tinnitus so bad I can hear it in other peoples ears including 60% loss in the left ear, got cataracts, toenail fungus, 20 lbs overweight, wear trifocals with prism correction. I attribute all that to having eaten Wheaties when I was a kid. Think I got a case?

    This couple lives in Florida A.k.a. "Gods waiting room" what else do they have to do besides play Bingo and eat an Dinner at 3pm and go to sleep after Jeapordy and Wheel of Fortune.

    When I am asked "What kind of milage does my car get?" I reply who cares it fun to drive and it's not a Prius or any other plain"appliance" type car. When the last time some one asked you about you Camery or whatever boring car they have?

    Then drive away with a smile.

    In my old Subaru I used to hypermile, mostly because I could. It was a way to make driving a little more interesting. Got pretty good at it too.

    Have I done that even once in the MINI? Naaaaah. :devil:
