Eeek! You're pleased with 39mpg?!!  ....
....that this isn't a dig, just an observation that you in the US really don't have a clue when it comes to economy-you've had it too good for too long and now things are chang'n!! 
NOT so fast there, Neill! I'll have you know that in an effort to become more "Green", I sent away to J.C. Whitney for one of those 100MPG carburetors and put it on my Hummer a whole THREE YEARS AGO!!!
So don't YOU tell ME that some of us Yanks over here haven't been doin' our level best to help preserve some of this world's finite resources, young man!!!
Now, if you're wonderin' how well that carb worked, well, I have to admit that it didn't give me near that 100MPG figure mind you, but it DID seem to help it jump up from an average of 6MPG to an amazing 8!!! And even THOUGH there turned out to be no guarantee that came with that carb(note: always remember to read the fine print out there, folks), every little bit helps, RIGHT?!
(and BTW...yeah folks, I KNOW it's now April 2nd, but you should ALL know by NOW that THIS is my S.O.P. around here NO MATTER what friggin' day it is...RIGHT???!!!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
