It's a totally different kind of high-performance driving. The one we're all used to, that requires lots of noise and fast reflexes, is an immediate sort of thing. That gives right-now feedback in the form of not flying off the road because you're keeping tight control of a car that's running at the outer edge of its performance envelope.
Hypermiling takes a different paradigm, high-performance in that you demand not more of the car, but of the fuel that goes into it. Any idiot can make more power: just add more fuel. Getting more distance out of the power you have, now that's a different question. It's more difficult to do in my opinion, and the feedback is periodic if you're driving a vehicle that doesn't have instant mileage readouts.
