Hey, I never said I wasn't a
lazy hypermiler
The Insight was the first car I owned in decades that had air, heck yes I was gonna use it! I use the Eco AC setting most days on the Volt, too

Conservation of momentum is fuel economy. I don't think anything else matters more than that

Yup, there's a lot more to hypermiling than just driving slow (although that's a biggie).
In the Volt I spend my entire commute in EV mode, so I P&G at every chance, but I balance it out with a minimal loss of momentum. At this point I know every inch of my usual route, where to gain and lose momentum to my advantage, and where it makes more sense to slow quickly for regen versus coasting
