My take on it is this:
These articles about hypermiling being bad... they sell attention, they are a big part of feeding the "news" machinery.
I also think it's a passive aggressive attack by people unwilling to adapt -- on people who are adapting.
I saw one of the prominent hypermiles in his red Honda Insight -- this was in a TV segment -- when asked if people had a problem with his hypermiling, he said it went both ways. But when someone gave him negative feedback, his response was, I'm hypermiling, deal with it.
Yeah, deal with it.
