elhigh and everybody,

Sorry about raising my voice. Maybe I reacted a bit quickly, but I've seen countless articles in the last two years of people talking as if hypermiling is clearly the most dangerous driving....but suspect it's actually the safest, but most hated...after all most people speed.

I've been thru a process to figure out how to clue in people to pass...anyone saying I'm holding others back more than maybe a few seconds (usually because they were inattentive) is simply lying - sorry. I've seen a number of reporters interview or ride with hypermilers only to throw them under the bus - it did not happen in my instance, so I'd challenge the OP why the reporter with me found no problem and got good results? ( http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcont....35fa7769.html )

My experience has been that the honkers/highbeamers often go out of their way to rage...all they had to do is pass.
