4-5 touches, but in that panic moment when you NEED the vacuum, where is it? .8 miles back when you getting a boner over saving 3oz of fuel.....

I would also like to point out that in well over 3mil miles of hypermilers on the road, not a single hypermiling-related accident has been reported by drivers nor by any police force anywhere in the world.

so you think a hypermiler is going to report that his/her own stupid actions caused him to rear-end the guy in front of him? "yes officer, well, i turned off my engine, to save fuel, and somehow it rear-ended the guy in front of me in the process".. yeah right... he/she told the cop that the "throttle stuck" and he was forced to slam into the guy in front..... wait, that sounds VERY familiar.

I understand that hypermiling is different than what you know,

i perfectly understand the obsession with "saving 3mpg".. it's much like collecting baseball cards or "action figures" hoping that in 30 years they'll be worth something..

but please do not sensationalize it.

there's nothing sensational about wasting time to save pennies It is simply a compromise for time over distance.. a different way to drive a car, and it works.[/QUOTE]

you do what you gotta do... but congratulating a guy about his ability to coast down a hill sans-power-braking is just retarded. it's not worth the ounces of fuel saved... especially considering the fact that most of you are wasting the money spent on gas...... on some other stupid obsession, like action figure collections...
