I was actually thinking about looking at the requesting IP address, and seeing if it came from a known "non-public" portion of the internet. I don't care who is carrying the traffic in the middle, I just want to make it a bit less cozy for the endpoints in the walled garden.
So let's fight today. I know nothing about actually writing Apache modules, but how about an Apache module that serves 404's to requests coming from "private" internets? I'd install it.
I believe that all it would take to break these deals is a clear stance that citizens on private internets are second-class citizens on the real internet. This is one way to do it.
I have an '05 Prius. How you drive definitely makes a difference. Jack rabbit starts kill MPG. The Prius (because of regeneration) pays less for stop & go than a traditional car, but it still pays. Using the cruise helps a lot. Short trips hurt.
What surprises me, though, is the role of outside temperature in determining MPG. In the winter (Chicago), my MPG is usually well under 40. During the spring and fall, I'm usually around 50 MPG. In the summer, with the A/C, I'm in the low 40s. Turning off the A/C and opening the windows makes it worse.
But under ideal circumstances -- ambient air temps of 68-72 degrees, longer trips, modest speeds (45-55), few starts & stops -- 60 MPG is not only possible, I've exceeded it (averaged over a full tank).
