Driving is mainly about getting somewhere. If you know when you need to be there and how much time you have, that tells you what your minimum average speed is to get where you're going. If it's not your mos efficient speed then you're probably not getting a record tank.

Hypermiling has two major points:
1. You've got to do what you've got to do.
2. Do the best you can while doing #1.

You're not going to make yourself late to get better mpg, so unless you're time is open ended you're going to compromise at the expense of mpg.
