I think the real lesson here is that you can take hypermiling too far. I always like to point out that saving a little fuel not worth aggravating hundreds of fellow drivers by being in their way.
I doubt that you will doze off, assuming you know that it will take you x number of hours.

61 miles an hour shouldn't aggravate anyone, especially in Alabama where we don't have to be there like most "city" people need to be there.
