There are people that IMO take hypermiling too far. But that guy is knocking the whole idea. I guess we should all ride the brakes and apply full throttle from a dead stop huh? If you want better fuel economy just buy a new car...

He fails to see the DWB concept... it isn't about not using your brakes ever and crashing into things... it is about anticipating or avoiding stops (by timing traffic and lights) and let off the throttle sooner so you aren't converting fuel into brake dust and heat.
