I bet Honda could easily make a car that mimics yours in shape (don't know what they'd do for a drivetrain though). They probably would have to laden it down with so many gadgets and power though to get Sheeple to buy it that it wouldn't attain the same numbers as yours would though.

I think moreso it'll be the Sheeple's (general car owner populous) image and thought process that needs to change (like you implied) for any of this hypermiling to stick and really click with people. I think Sheeple are afraid to take responsibilities for their actions.
