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.

+1.
But sometimes it feels like a toss-up. I used to drive 55-60 highway and 70 freeway even at night and felt comfortable doing so. Ive had countless quick deer stops too and knock on wood Ive never slammed one. Since hypermiling Ive been going 55-60 freeway and 45-50 highway at night and it feels like itd scare me to go the speeds I used to go. Driving in daylight is a rare thing for me except in summer.
