I've heard about the practice of turining off you car (or pickup truck) when going down a long hill before. My aunt used to call it "West Virginia Overdrive". Which sounds way cooler than hypermiling.

How many time do you hear somebody say "oh, it was meant to happen" when reflecting on a misfortune?
I hear it occasionally, and I find it fascinating, because by making that statement the person is actually implying some massive presuppositions. They include:
* Belief that life is intelligently controlled by an ethereal power
* Belief that they are part of a "grand" or "divine" plan
Are these people just whistling in the dark? Too afraid to face the terrifying prospect that life is chaotic?"
