I honestly don't feel like I'm "hypermiling" at all... I just drive normally most of the time.
A good hypermiler/EcoDriver is not so dramatic. The position is to convey one's habits and results in a Scientific manner, separate of one's usual routine -- it must be spelled-out specifically step-by-step for others to learn, repeat, and adapt.

Use the EPA fuel economy figures, calculate that vs. what you attain and (I must stress) back your processes-up with specific procedure and technique. We cannot forge ahead without the use of Scientific Method and proper communication for other to learn and test the techniques for themselves.

One cannot proclaim themselves as a 'Hypermiler' without substantial evidence in support.
