Once again (in a calm voice) - hypermiling is not drafting. Hypermiling is tools like planning your route to drive accordingly, pulse and glide, drive without breaks, timing stoplights, maximize the use of gravity (including accelerating before approaching a hill).

My morning work commutes with the Insight started in the low 50's....recently I got 115mpg - without drafting.

Is doubling the mpg good enough? Even 30% is not bad by hypermiling.
