For me it is more than the money saved, which is substantial
and a huge benefit of owning a economical car.
The hypermiling is something i do to extend the distance i can drive on a tank. Just buying a economical car saved me most the money, the hypermiling is a labor of love, pet project? it is really natural now, If driving other peoples cars and trucks I hypermiling them to, just out of habit and knowledge. A lot of the hypermiling tactics that we do manually are built into some of the hybrid/ electric cars, we are compensating for our inferior ICE management systems.

voted 9 , if it was free who knows what i would be doing now and where i would be driving too.
