Men used to try to impress their date by demonstrating how fast their car is. Or how much money it is worth. Now it's all about MPG. "Hey babe, know how many miles per gallon my rig gets?" or "Watch this honey...I can take my foot off the pedal 300 yards from the traffic light and still get there" or "Mind if I stop by the bank and the grocery store on our way back? That's right baby...I trip chain."

Here are some other ways to impress your date in traffic:

  1. Meet in the Middle. Pick somewhere in between where you both live and take scheduled mass transit to get there a little bit early.
  2. Go on a bicycle date. It is NOT dorky. Talk about sweaty fun.
  3. Go somewhere within walking distance. Park your car when there is an opportunity. There is nothing like walking in the moonlight.
  4. Let your date walk the last mile home to save fuel...just kidding.

How embarrassing would it be to show up at your date's house in a car that gets less than 20 miles per gallon? I don't even want to think about the consequences.

Be sensitive to the Earth and you might get lucky.

Are you a green hipster looking for all things green and cool? Then you'll love actor and eco-activist Adrian Grenier and his team of environmental experts, who live it up with sustainable style on Planet Green TV's Alter Eco.
