Absolutely. I am WAY more attentive now than I used to be, in front, to the back, watching side roads, etc...

Maybe I was a little less aware when I was first learning, and watching the gauges a lot. Now it's second nature, and the gauges are for confirmation and motivation.

I choose to eliminate potential distractions like food and music. The radio is off, so I can concentrate and hypermile better.
