my information comes from an auto mechanic of over 30 years. I don't use any of the hipermiling techniques, I think the idea is rediculous. I work hard for my money and if I want to spend it on gas then by god I will. I am not denying that hipermiling at it's extremes will improve gas milage, I am just stating that it can be taken too far. I think turning your car off at any point unless you are parking is stupid. As a motorcyclist, I understand the need to get out of the way quickly at times. It is kind of hard to do that with the car off. Automakers aren't shutting the engine off completely, much like the northstar system in cadillacs, only a portion of the cylinders aren't being fed gasoline.
