Absolutely, you are right that correct hypermiling involves looking well ahead and staying safe (you'd think this would just be standard practice!). Check back on page 1 for my comments about purists vs. morons. The AAA is afraid of morons overinflating and driving like most people drive. But... you never know when the guy beside you is going to suddenly swerve over and side-swipe you, or the guy in front is going to spill his coffee on his lap and slam the brakes on. Grip = safety. I will modify my techniques and my car in ways that will improve MPG without EVER reducing safety.
