If I were carpooling I wouldn't hypermile off-the-bat because 1 person at 50 MPG => 50 MPG per person, but 2 people at 35 MPG => 70 MPG per person. If I was lucky, however, I'd bring the carpooler over to the "green side" and maybe push it back up to 45 MPG => 90 MPG per person. What is interesting is that the ScanGauge would allow me to "charge for gas", just like a taxi!
