I am the Voice of America...

I Can't Drive 55(mpg)

No foot on the brake, barely one on the gas
There's too much traffic, I'm gettin' passed
So I try my best fuel-saving move
And big black and white come and cuts my groove again!

Chorus
Go on and write me up for goin' 45
Post my face wanted dead or a live.
Take my license all that jive
But I can't drive (pause) 55(mpg)

When I drive that slow you know it's hard to steer
And I'm trying to keep my car in the highest gear
What used to take 2 hours now takes all day
It took me 16 hours(but only 11.2 gallons) to get to LA!

Chorus

I was going to change the middle verse too, but,oddly, it made sense as it was.

Glad I got this out of my head. Back to your regularly scheduled MPG thread.

Moondawg--

That was great! Although I think the only 4-cylinder SH would praise would most likely be in a motorcycle. Do you have anything for Trans Am (Highway Wonderland)?

The other day, we were driving down the highway, with the cruise set to (indicated) 57 mph. I was in the right hand lane (of 4) and people were passing us. My girlfriend asked "why are you driving so slowly", and I responded "I'm doing the speed limit". "Oh" was all she could say. Its insane how much people speed, and given the parasitic drag on these SUVs, its no wonder people are *****ing about gas prices.

 

[GoFaster]

I'll stick with "I Can't Drive 55" for its original reasons!

Uh oh. This IS my day job.
