Don't be discouraged. You may want to check a few things first before starting any hypermiling prematurely and being discouraged by not so stellar results. First make sure you're running some low viscosity synthetics which meet the specs for your car. Amsoil's a good starting point. The K24 on the wife's TSX goes great with the low viscosity ATF and 5w30 with frictional modifiers like ws2 and NMF. Make sure the caliper pins are lubricated on your brakes so the brakes aren't dragging. Also make sure the park brake releases completely too. It could be some no so obvious stuff hanging you up...
