Semi-related rant: Boulder's 20mph residential speed limit is so annoying. I have a stick, and it likes to be in 3rd gear at 25mph. At 20mph, it's reving high in 2nd and annoys the hell out of me. The same is mostly true for my automatic, but slightly less.
Like, I can get behind the law change for safety reasons, but all the signs say it's for emission reasons. And I can tell you that my gas usage is higher at 20pmh than at 25mph. Sure, yeah, there's some study out there that ... blah blah blah.
Look, Boulder City Council is just crazy with their roads, I hate it.
