First off welcome to the site. Glad you stopped by to see whats going on.
As for your post on safety, I don't really think we advocate any of these techniques... I think your taking things a bit far here to the point of being out of context. There is no way we would advocate techniques that would endanger people. Yes, the techniques here require practice and skill to use, but so does driving in general. As a hypermiler one of the fundamentals is being aware of your driving environment: what cars are around you, stops up ahead, speed limits, etc. Many normal drivers pay little attention to many of these factors. I'm on a number of car related message boards and I can say from personal experience that I have seen way more messages related to accidents on the horsepower/racing oriented boards versus the hypermiling boards.
