Drive Smart, Uncle Sam

I was driving in Raleigh a couple of days ago and I saw a bumper sticker that said "Drive Smart, Save Fuel". The license plate was a North Carolina state plate. I find it more than annoying that government workers are telling me how to drive.

It was especially irritating because the vehicle was a tan SUV, and probably not the "smartest" use of gas. I had already decided to write about it here, when I saw another identical tan SUV a few hundred feet ahead of the other. Now that is smart.

I was so incredulous I could hardly continue driving my four cylinder Integra, embarrassed at the mere 30 MPG highway I was getting. If only I could learn something from the wise government who sets such a great example.
