Yeah, that seems about par for the course for Penny Hoarder; I see their articles advertised on Facebook all the time with titles like, "Ten Crazy Ways to save $700 a Year!" But, when you open the article, the suggestions turn out to be for company credits, not cash, and take an inordinate amount of time or effort to get the return they advertised in the headline. This article seems better in that regard--it isn't promising a specific monetary amount, at least. But it still holds up examples of "crazy" or "dangerous" hypermilers as if that's the norm.
That said, the second half of the article is pretty good.
