His contest isn't. His disparaging statements on his website are about the techniques. Something about hypermilers being outlaw baby killers or something (no cops, no families, I don't think so).

What is your point? The original verbiage is all still there, so?
Would YOU carry your family on a freedom machine in front of a cop?
I DON'T THINK SO.

I don't understand what is so difficult about this concept.
P.S. Do I P&G? Yes! Would I P&G in front of a cop? Hell no! Not only is it a surefire way to get pulled over thus wasting everyone's time, the coasting part (and I do it engine off) is illegal in my state. So, is not doing P&G in front of cops a sensible thing? Yes. |

Oy. Don't enter it, think of entering it, or follow it then.

Isn't it ?
Which hypermiling techniques are going to be ruled out next then ?
Because let's face it, none of these guys is going over 100mpg without using at least some hypermiling techniques along the way.
So, what's next to go ?
Engine braking maybe ?
In real life, the average Joe is gassing with a vengeance until he has to brake to stop or go around corner.
