But, in fact, people can be unicorns also.

Much like claims that a unicorn product works.....
Unicorns make baseless claims also.
'cant drive below 70mph....UNSAFE'

I have probably been on the I35 when he was there........guess Im lucky to be alive.....gezzzzzz
Honestly I am uncertain how this thread could have turned out much different. What he "wanted" goes in contrary to the general guidelines of hypermiling.

He could hypermile driving 80mph but either it would be
1. Almost completely ineffective
2. Result in him averaging a much lower overall speed.

OR we could nurse him along and have him do things to his truck that would waste money and have almost no decernable affect on his FE?

AKA if he can't tell the FE difference going between 65mph & 80mph, it is unlikely he could record any difference in mods he would make either and he would become frustrated after spending time on mods he would not view as effective.

I am not sure how you break the inevitable truth to someone like that.
