On my way to the Vetter Challenge in Carmel Ca. next year I will be hypermiling all the way. In doing so I will be the 1 in 100,000 motorists who is doing that. I will probably be getting close to 100mpg hypermiling. While running the Vetter Challenge I wil probably be getting 80mpg, without hypermiling, which is 20% below what hypermilling would get. We all know that driving style is worth 20% - 25% in fuel economy.
I can find no reason to take offence at what Craig has said, its his rules for his challange... I will at some other time go to an all out hypermiling event to see what I can achieve. For those interested in other contest please see Events & Meet Ups.
