[Recumpence]

Pardon me if this is a simplistic observation. But, I am somewhat new to Hypermiling and this just occurred to me;

Building a project FE car starting with a hybrid should yield higher mpg improvement numbers than with a gas only vehicle because if you increase your FE by, say, 10% overall on a car that already sees 50mpg, you net a 5mpg improvement. Whereas improving a 20mpg vehicle by 10% only nets 2mpg increase. The flip side to this is that improving a gas hog by 10% saves more gas overall than cutting an already FE vehicle's consumption by the same %.

Is my thinking correct in this?
