MA actually has a website up on ecodriving where they basically cut and paste the EM driving tips, a pretty high compliment of our little establishment from a government agency, I would say.
I havent really noticed an upswing in negative press on these issues except for certain journalists who have been on rides with certain people...but to be honest, I dont blame them. I have only felt unsafe when another person was at the wheel a handful of times and on all occasions I left the vehicle before the end of the trip, and complained heavily. I cant blame someone for reporting their on their first-hand experiences, and if that reflects badly on "hypermiling" it only because the person doing the driving thinks he is the living definition of the word. *shrug*
Nevertheless, I thought it was a fair article. Nothing is cut and dry, and to present something as entirely good when the audience is clearly suspicious tends to give off the appearance of bias. The best argumentative method is to present your case with acknowledged faults and move past that, which is something I see a lot in these tv/newspaper reports on fuel economy.
