Not one in several thousand. I can drive 400 miles in a day, and thousands of cars will pass me. I might pass one or two potential hypermilers that day.

I agree, almost none. Even the people I know that I talk to about what I am doing, most think it is pretty cool, and are quite impressed with the benefits, but none of them would never even consider doing any of it themselves, and get ticked if they end up behind me at just 5 mph under the limit. They always complain about the price of gas. But when it comes down to actually doing anything about it, they're like "ohhh, well I won't be seen in a $hitbox, or something that looks like a batmobile, or I won't slow down cause it'll take me too long or it's boring, or god hypermiling is just sooo much work it's not worth it...." We are barely a drop in the bucket, hence why Detroit continues to build what they do.
I have to wonder if it will ever catch on. A wasteful way of life is what fuels the great American economy.
