Many terrible things are done with good intentions for the common good, just as I took your words the wrong way your statements could spark the wrong someone to make another bogus law that could lead to unnecessary harassment of normally law abiding individuals. We need to keep as many of our remaining freedoms as possible.
We don't need any association implied between hypermiling and law breaking / unsafe driving. An important part of hypermiling is predicting your coarse of travel so you can most effectively obey the law from point A to B
The Law won't differentiate between us and them once a myth gets propagated into law.
And "Those people" is you and me.
Also as I mentioned elsewhere, many of us have vehicles that behave the same way running or not, my Subaru has mechanical brakes and steering that operate without the motor running, my old suburban was steerable and the brakes worked without power as well (just harder to push the brake pedal)
I won't further clutter this otherwise excellent thread anymore and my posts can be deleted if the mod prefers.
Cheers
