After having visited many central and south American countries, one thing that surprises me is the lack of attention to driving habits. In these less wealthy countries where fuel costs more than the US, they tend to drive small and fuel efficient vehicles, but neglect to drive efficiently themselves. The throttle and brakes are used as on/off switches, with no coasting between.
I would think the heart of ecomodding and hypermiling would lay with those most in need of the benefits.
