another suggestion for version 2.0 - with all the "crap" hypermilers have been taking in the press - maybe a short statement or 2 clearly stating that the priorities of a Hylermiler are.. ( I know these are Common sence - but the Media seems to think we are all tailgating - light running - waiting to start a Road Rage incedent group of people - and clearly we are NOT!

Hypermiler Rules of Engagement:
1 - Obey all traffic laws - no tailgating - no running red lights - no driving below posted minimum Speedlimits
2 - Adjust techniques for traffic flow - when roads are congested adjust to not become a hinderance to other drivers
3 - Hypermileing to improve fuel economy.

Just a thought to help curb all the "HATEN" going on our there.
