If I apply the same set of hypermiling techniques to several manual-transmission, non-hybrid cars of different makes with the same EPA mileage, will I be able to achieve about the same improved mileage in each car when I drive it with hypermiling techniques, or are there certain brands that can be HMed more effectively than others? My guess is the latter; if so, which cars are best?
