This is a rare non-Mozilla posting but worthy enough to share (IMO anyways).
I’m a Mac toting, blue leaning, carpool-loving Prius driver and tend to average about 47.1 mpg on my commute from “outer” East Bay (Pleasanton/Dublin). However, the past week’s weather has been much warmer and I’ve been driving mostly barefoot.
I was surprised to see that after a week of driving with bare feet, my mpg had jumped to 48.5!
To make sure this wasn’t some fluke, I reset the trip computer this morning and by the time I got into MoCo, I had hit 53.4mpg, an all time new high for me!
I even have proof -
Sweet. No more shoes for me.

Awesome gas mileage! So far in my Prius I’m getting about 46 mpg but I’m in a lot of stop and go traffic. I will definitely try going shoe-less - I think that may allow you to have a “softer” foot and accelerate and decelerate more gradually. I love my car and I’m glad we’re both saving the planet a little bit!
Clearly losing the added weight of the shoes madea difference!
hmmm…. you don’t think it could be due to the warmer air…? Or are you guys trying to be funny? In that case
You should try driving in your underware only!
