I can't NOT hypermile. Ever. Example last month - to the hospital for baby delivery. You know, got to get there NOW! It was freezing cold with light snow, I was obviously in a hurry, and I still got 43 mpg in a 31-rated car. I can assure you, nobody else driving at the legal speed limit would have gotten there faster.

Timing lights, coasting on downhills, looking far ahead and anticipating - these all work in any situation.
