Guilty Pleasures, part 2It's been a while since we last asked this question and CaptainFellatioNelson's confession that he likes "to fart under the duvet, creep in and see how long I can last only on the fart air contained within" reminded us just how good it was last time.
What are the little things you do for fun when nobody else is around?

Smug Cow...I take enourmous pleasure in driving at the speed limit and watching the driver behind me mere moments away from a rage induced stroke.
(Except, of course, on the motorway where it is every man for himself)
I also do it to save on fuel, it's stunning how much you can save if you don't drive like a wanker.

Me tooBut only when the driver behind me is far too close. Also another way to save fuel like that is when approaching a junction or redlight, dip the clutch and coast. Thempg of the engine goes up loads.
I make sure I'm not the fastest person on the motorway

It's better not to coast.....but to leave it in gear and take your foot off the throttle (at speeds where you can, obviously) as it uses less fuel.
Modern engine management systems cut off the fuel to the engine completely at speeds above about 1500rpm with no throttle. Dip the clutch and it needs to squirt fuel in to keep the engine turning.

It's dangerous to coast.By dipping the clutch anyway, do it as said above and just ease off the accelerator, also try to accelerate as slowly as possible and maintain your speed gently.
Accelerating and braking are what use most fuel.

O what a wonderful guilty pleasureI have done this occasionally too, when people are tailgating and generally driving like inconsiderate funts.
Well done have a clicky.

sow and steady wins the raceI drive exactly on the speed limit, but if you tail gate me I will slow down by 5 miles per hour, then sit as far out as posssible so you can't overtake me.
On the motorwasy I drive at 65 mph, it's amazing how often I'm the only car in sight as all the plebs in their works BMW have disappeared up to road at about 100 miles per hour and all the trucks are speed limited and disappear behind me.
