I love it when some retard likes to ride my bumper cursing all the way to the next passing zone, punches it and passes me only to race to the red light ahead that I already timed and swept past him maintaining my speed while they are stopped at the light.

I don't consider myself a "Hypermiler" because I don't use certain driving techniques like engine off coasting or pulse and glide. I do however save fuel by going the speed limit, easy on the gas pedal (Keep the vacuum gauge in the Economy zone), coasting down hills, no idling, only starting the car when ready to go, and the rest is all from the mods on the car like aeromods and weight reduction.

I am getting over 62 MPG currently on my Metro like this and if I ever did want to use some of the more extreme Hypermiling tips, I know I could hit 70 MPG easily.
