Are hypermiling techniques illegal anywhere? I searched around Ontario's highway traffic act and I couldn't find anything relating to coasting or turning off the engine. There are some laws about travelling under 40km/h, you need a slow moving vehicle sign, but if you go over 40km/h you need to take it off.
Also if you go for true horse power...
Sleigh bells
77. (1) Every person travelling on a highway with a sleigh or sled drawn by a horse or other animal shall have at least two bells attached to the harness or to the sleigh or sled in such a manner as to give ample warning sound. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 77 (1).
Anyways, I agree with Offroad, do your hypermiling intelligently, no one will have a problem with it and don't worry about what the boobs on the tube say.
Also, how does anyone know if you are coasting or not? or have the engine off? And I find drafting works so far back that you never need to be in "danger" from tailgating let alone stopped by the police...
