These two things should be seen separately.

If I look around on this list, look at the cars, look at their mileage, there are rather few people whom I'd consider novice drivers.

I see hypermiling as an advanced driving technique - not as the way new drivers should be taught to drive from day 1, simply because they lack the skill and experience to do so.
Rookie drivers are far too busy taking in the many signs, the many other road users, all the while controlling their own vehicle, to bother them with yet another rather involving task.
