Welcome- and you can have both worlds. Just remember that hypermiling is high performance driving, performance that can actually be measured. You aren't slacking off, just focusing on a different area.

You're also setting your sights too low. In my Subaru I went from 350-380 mile tanks to well over 500. Enjoy watching your numbers go up!
