The Canadian Automobile Association recently published a paper they call "Primer on Automobile Fuel Efficiency and Emissions". It is an interesting paper with a lot of info, pretty well put together, but with a couple errors, some inaccuracies, and fallacies too. It's missing a lot of references too. There are a lot of things they say I'd like to know what is their source.
I really did not like the following quote and intend to contact them in this regard.

Although hypermiling demonstrates how far fuel efficient driving techniques can take you, some techniques can be very dangerous (or illegal) and should never be practiced. These include turning off the vehicle's engine while coasting in traffic, tailgating or “drafting” larger vehicles, such as trucks, or even rolling through stop signs.
