That may seem like a lot of wasted time, but considering I just watched 4 cat videos on YouTube, I think there are plenty of other things we can eliminate that are less productive than driving slower to save fuel. I know I save time, but honestly the challenge of getting good gas mileage is worth it (plus I save some $$).

For those of us with long commutes (35 miles each way, though I'll be moving closer soon), hypermiling is a good way to gamify our time spent in the car. It takes a great deal of boredom and stress out of the commute.
