Don't forget that a large division of the AAA is their Car Insurance business. Reducing liability looks to be the aim.
Frankly, I don't really care if large organizations or the Press disagrees with the practices. It's odd -- I don't see any hard data of accidents caused by these practices.
I think people will still do what they want -- and if that means investigating into hypermiling, people will do it.
Even if folks used the MINIMAL techniques suggested (that are all perfectly legal), then they would likely boost their FE to a noticeable degree.
More sensationalism, if you ask me.
