Roger, When I used the term ecofreak I certainly didn't mean for it to apply to someone with common sense about the enviornment. Most of us thought our mileage was going to go down 1/2 mpg and the gas would cost 6 cents more per gallon. I'm no ecofreak but I was happy to do it to help reduce pollution by 15%. It was news to me that I'm killing the next generation of children by not wanting to burn an extra 15% more gas that costs and extra 40 cents per gallon and doesn't do anything for the envioprnment.
