You cannot possibly make that claim with any certainty. And it's very likely not true. I'd like to see some concrete evidence in support of that claim.


Unsafe driving practices are unsafe driving practices. No matter how you want to want to gloss over them. Pointing out the added danger incurred by the hypermilers, and others who have to share the roads with them, is not, by any means, "sensationalizing" the matter.

There are reasonable fuel saving practices... which are, in general, good for safety, as well. And then there are foolish practices which annoy and endanger the hypermiler and others. Fortunately, the reasonable, safe, and non-annoying ones also yield the bulk of the actual FE benefits.

Wow Steve, No evidence is required to state that no accidents have been caused by hypermilers, there is plenty of evidence to show of other driving methods causing accidents... aka drunk driving, falling asleep at the wheel, driving aggressively. But driving passively, or hypermiling is not one of them.

Hypermiling is much safer than the other driving methods i have previously stated, why are you ragging on it so much huh?

Hypermiling is all about the getting the most MPG out of your car without jeopardizing safety, we are not trying to get ourselves killed.
