Do you see us going over to the Drag Racing forum and bitching because all the 12-second cars there can't get 15 mpg? Think about it, man... you're being a bit a of a troll here, aren't you?
You guys really like taking stuff right out of context to attack it and make an otherwise wrong point, don't you? That statement was referring to if you're buying a car for power, who cares about efficiency when efficiency means your 1.3L (random figure) motor makes a whopping 100HP.
And I didn't come in here to argue about which car is cooler, but I'm sorry if it catches me a little off guard when someone says some Yaris is a better vehicle than a Mustang. I came in here to tell you that what you're doing, while great for your fuel economy, is bad for your engine and undoubtedly other parts of your car as well, and that 300 bucks you saved during the year really doesn't sound that great when its accompanied by the sound of a rod bearing going to hell.
