OMG. This is finally starting to make sense to me. You do not know what hypermiling is. When I stated earlier in this thread that I get over 50 MPG you asked if I hypermile. This confused me (being a hypermiling web site and all). Well according to your impressions and understanding of what hypermiling is...No, I do not hypermile (according to your definition). I get this on a 60 mile round trip commute to work. All I do is drive an efficient car at a reasonable speed 55-60 MPH. I currently have done zero modifications to anything on my car other than pump up the tires. All of my commute is interstate highway. I do coast down from my house about .75 mile but, I drive back up it on the way home.
