I saw a nice 1985-88 black Chevy Nova today with NewYork plates. I looked it up and it doesn't seem to be an eco-car, however the driver was definitely a seasoned hypermiler. I think i may have come across a member of here or CleanMPG. Why? The guy accelerated really slow in the left lane, and slowly picked up to cruising speed doing 10mph under the speed limit. Drove with load up and down every hill, coasted down to the top of the biggest hill, and engine braked all the way down picking up speed, changed lanes as a red turned green to keep momentum, and coasted then crawled abnormally slowly through a red light change. I barely saw his brake lights at all. Windows down AC off. He saw me in my Insight and gave me a wave as i went the other direction. Didn't care that i was accelerating faster than him while he was in the left lane. Perfect hypermiling if i ever saw it!
I've decided i'm not going to take pictures while i'm driving.
