Suggestion: Hypermiler rating system

Under the current system if a person achieves 20% above EPA combined fuel efficiency for the 90-day average, he/she is given a "Hypermiler" rating. That's cool. However, I think it would be even better if there were more categories. For example:

10% above EPA = "Efficient driver"
20% above EPA = "Hypermiler"
50% above EPA = "Hypermiler plus"
75% above EPA = "Super Hypermiler"
100% above EPA = "Ultra Hypermiler"

The numbers and names could change, but you get the idea of what I'm suggesting.
