Agreed. Its difficult to believe that, on the whole, there are any huge ground breaking strategies that would account for this overtake in efficiency. Its general shape is very similiar to my CX-5, but I noticed (especially in the rear) that the tires fill the wheel wells better and its lower in the back. I've gotten 42-47 on highway with my non-hybrid SUV so the EPA numbers aren't unrealistic, but 76.6 is huge! My hat's off to him. I can't even get within the same area code as he operates in hypermiling.
