But, 95% of everyone in the city doesn't drive conservatively at all. If you're keeping up with them, you aren't, either!

Then there are the tailgating habits the so many people have, but don't even realize that they have. If there is less than 2 seconds between you and the car ahead of you, you're wasting fuel because every time they slow down, YOU have to hit the brakes. If you follow 2-3 seconds back, you can drive your own game and instead of having to hit the brakes, you can get a free DFCO coast!

So you are saying that people who drive safe and follow the law is the same thing as hypermiling?
