Private owners maybe not... but some public utility drivers here have been practicing hypermiling since the 70's.
I've watched drivers here coast up to passenger stops with the engine off, and wait for passengers that way. Old-school diesel drivers also pulse-and-glide on the highway. I never understood how those guys drove until I started studying fuel efficiency.
Newer for-hire drivers don't do the same thing. And young drivers don't give a crap. They like going fast. But the old guys, the ones who paid for their own trucks and have to scrounge up money just to buy fuel, they get it.
