i saw a tagline that said:

All those in favor of better gas mileage, please raise your right foot.



any chance of that?

Nice one.

The one I'd think about printing up (because it sums up what I've found to be my biggest single hypermiling gain) would say:

The light's red. What's your hurry?

good one too!

how about one for my pet peeve:

merge NOW, a**h***!

i hate those idiots that cause mile-long back-ups because they HAVE to get to the front of the line where lanes merge down on a highway. there is NO reason for those traffic jams except their selfishness.

oh well, they would be going by too fast to read it anyway!

MPG is the new HP.

:D

my plate frame reads:

HYBRID MATH - 55MPH=55MG

which isn't true, since i am getting over 60 in the summer :D

My wife thought I was clever with, "Hypermilers make it last longer"

55 MPG, Not only a good idea but it used to be the law.
On second thought if you had something like that on your car in the SW it would probably be grounds
for shotgun violence.

:D:D:D:D

my car runs on minimum wage

or "my car runs on minimum rage"
(The Onion did a piece a while back on anger-fueled vehicles, which was posted here)

My bumper sticker will read:

Support Our Troops
Fight Terrorism
Save Fuel, Go Hybrid!

Caution: Hypermiling In Progress
Please Stay Back

I did have a caution bumpersticker, but apparantly according to the printing company "caution" was trademarked (yeah right!) So I think there is one that says "warning" or something like that.

I did have a caution bumpersticker, but apparantly according to the printing company "caution" was trademarked (yeah right!)I wouldn't rule it out. After all, the song "Happy Birthday to You" is copyrighted:
http://www.snopes.com/music/songs/birthday.asp
The copyright specifically does allow private performances of the song at gatherings attended by family members, so you're OK when you sing it at a birthday party. At home. But not in public. Under TimeWarner's copyright, royalties may be charged not only for commercial performances (from which they derive $2M per year) -- but also for performances where the general public is gathered. I just learned today that's why birthday celebrations at chain restaurants usually involve some crappy proprietary birthday song.

Back on topic:
A few years back a local advocacy group printed up a bunch of stickers with the words SLOW DOWN! in large type, with "School's in session" below in smaller type. I'd keep the first line of large type and add the following two lines in small type:
SLOW DOWN!
For the children
For the planet

Another one:
Try eco driving, not ego driving.

Two on the same theme -

If you can read this
- Congradulations - you're not speeding
- Let me know when its my turn to draft you

Try eco driving, not ego driving.
Congradulations - you're not speeding

Are these all original? If so, I will happily put them on bumperstickers.

If you print it,
"Congratulations" is with a "t", not a "d".

yep, i think mine were origional (especially with a "d") :)

"<== I found your lane right over here <=="
"Wave at the gas station kids"
"America is addicted to oil. - GWB 2/1/06"
"This car is Rosie the Riveter approved"

Heh. I always spell it wrong as well. I tend to have my wife spell check for me before I put stuff in print ;)

Try eco driving, not ego driving.As far as I'm aware.

How about "I sip, you suck!"

I know probably not the nicest thing to say and some people might take it the wrong way, but its funny.

It is funny. My wife says that she likes bumper stickers that are less "confrontational." It would be good to get a couple of those created.

Also, it seems the confrontational/accusatory bumper stickers tend to make drivers more aggressive and harder to deal with when hypermiling.

For the kiddies out there:

Stay back, I've got gas!

Here's a simple one:

MPG>MPH

Watch out for the idiot behind me.

Dont follow me, I'm lost too.

They aren't mine so I won't take credit for them.

...They aren't mine so I won't take credit for them.
I didn't understand what this had to do with hypermiling. Then I slapped myself on the forehead. Maybe I should try to concentrate on fewer things at one time.

Saw a good one yesterday:

"Are you making an appointment with St. Peter on that cell phone?"

Taken from a TV show -

"Bin Laden hates this car"

From a car at work:

Drive like hell. You'll get there.

I've got one:
I accept Jesus, but I don't think he accepts me.

I've told my friends that one, and most are religious, but they still thought it was hillarious.

one more?

would you tailgate YOUR grandmother?

"Fighting terrorism one gallon at a time"

There are some really good ones in this thread. I would definitely get one.

How about "I sip, you suck!"

AHAHAHAH!!! Yeah, not nice at all but VERY funny!

Not meant to be taken seriously, but with all the HONKERS out there, how about this one?

OR on a more serious note, I like this one. Can be adjusted to whatever Mileage you are getting.

I would feel better my self with a less confrontational message.

Here is the ones I like so far.

I'm thinking of having one of these made.
keep the good ideas coming!!

I have seen several hybrid and gas saving ones at cafepress.com
The one I was really impressed with but would never have the courage to put on my car is:
HUMMER
Soldiers dying in theirs, so you can drive yours!

Yea I know, way to confrontational!

I would like mine to read 47+ TYVM!!

I have noticed since I put on this sticker I get fewer aggressive drivers tailgating me. Maybe they just assume I can't go any faster.

I love the subtle picture/parking you got going on there!
