It's a fun hobby. Considering I can't practice drifting (fingers crossed our new series starts next year), slalom/circuit racing or drag racing on the street, hypermiling is the only motorsports discipline I can enjoy on a daily basis.
I always say, "Life is HOW one frames it." You say "hypermiling is a motorsport". I never thought of it THAT way, but that's a great perspective.

While all our driving conditions are unique to each of us and it's fun to compare our MPG postings with others in similar cars, each tank refill really begins another competition NOT with others but with ourselves.
