The easiest answer is;
Results may vary .. personally, the cost of hypermiling to me has been this;
-10 extra minutes each way on a 120 mile round trip daily drive
-So far saving 1-1/2 tanks of gas a month and climbing
-Funny enough, my blood pressure has stabilized to normal
-My sugar levels have returned to normal
***I have turned others on to saving gas and money on speeding tickets***
I attribute those changes to the reduced stress of having to dodge traffic all the way to work and rubber necking for cops on 1-95.
So while you may known that you have wasted away a vacation by driving slower, I'm sure if I continue this I'll live long enough to take more.
So I feel your pain in having to make the decision you have, but weigh in all your benefits too, not just the $$ savings. No sense in making it if you cant spend it ya know ... GL to ya
