The choice for me was playing the mileage game v. the speed game. No matter what I did for speed, there were plenty of other cars out there faster. Now that I play the mileage game, there are a lot fewer people beating me. No one in the hypermiling community beats my xB with their xBs, and no other SE-R driver beats my SE-R. In fact, darn few Sentra drivers beat my SE-R even with 1.8 L engines, and only a handful of Yaris, Echo, and Tercel owners beat my boxy xB mileage-wise.
