Oil extraction, processing, transportation, refinement and usage are all ecological disasters of an epic scale, and the human fallout from all of it (oppression, war, displacement, etc.) is absolutely catastrophic.

The less each of us uses of it, and the more responsibly each of us uses it, the less the world will need each day. The less the world needs each day the less pressure there is on the whole human and ecological systems.

The way I see it each of us is either part of the problem or part of the solution, and by reducing my demand for oil I feel that I am not part of the problem.

All the scaremongering and fuzzy math (the output of an equation is only as good as the input, and you continually miss a huge chunk of the input) in the world changes none of this.

We know that some of you don't care for hypermiling but, frankly, I am getting sick and tired of the scare tactics and gloom and doom coming out each and every time anyone posts anything about a hypermiling technique.

You don't see us FE types parading into the Performance forum and bashing speeding or track days or spending huge amounts of money for minuscule gains. You don't see us pestering the Cosmetic forum about the things we think are silly, or making fun of how much money is spent on those types of things.

We expect the same in return here in the Fuel Economy forum. If you have nothing positive to contribute to a thread then please spend your time elsewhere. If you can't stomach conversations about hypermiling then please spend your time elsewhere.

This is indeed the Fuel Economy forum,and hypermiling is a large part of that. Please get over it or move on.
