Re: New product: Caution! Hypermiling in progress bumpersticker
To me the beauty of the MIMA system is its flexibility: it can be used in a myriad of ways, or reverts to the stock system by simply poking a button. So you can use it according to your preferences and to the road conditions. I bet each of the 50+ owners has evolved a different style of MIMA use.
What I would like to see on a bumper sticker is:
KEEP CLEAR - HYPERMILING IN PROGRESS
or
PLEASE PASS - HYPERMILING! (possibly with a curving leftwards arrow on the left side)
or some version of these. Either avoids any hint that hypermiling is dangerous and suggests a simple clear response for the following driver.
As far as people reading vanity plates, I get a lot of positive reactions from people in passing cars which I suspect are due to my vanity plates. Bumper stickers are hard to read unless the text is short and in large font. I like to read them, but some are impossible to read unless you're insanely close to the rear bumper.

How about "Law abiding citizen. Please go around." With an arrow on the left?

Dang it, tbaleno, if you print that bumpersticker you're going to make me buy one. That might be even better than "Try Eco Driving, not Ego Driving," which I currently display with pride.
Of course, if I drive around with that sticker, I'd d*** well make sure I'm law abiding!
