I see ecomodding as a performance enhancement hobby. Its not tire burning performance, its efficiency performance.
Driving skills, and the fun of driving/hypermiling are a big part of it.
I also like to focus on aerodynamic mods that I can make. The right shape means I can coast and coast and coast...WOW!
I actually drive much more than normal if I am out trying to hypermile. I ride a bicycle to work and don't need to drive at all most days. I have had tanks of gas where all I was doing was joyriding through the countryside practicing hypermiling techniques. If I had the time and money, I would plan cross-continental hypermiling jaunts just for the fun of it.
If I was out to save money, I should just sell the car and ride a bicycle.
Hypermiling is a sport that I like.
