Are Hypermilers a menace on the road? {Autoblog Green}
May 8th 2008 9:48AM Derek, Sounds like the guy ahead of you, who slowed down to turn at the intersection, could have prevented the accident by simply using a turn signal? Perhaps distracted by phone, coffee, etc?
Seems like that's a greater danger than driving the speed limit and paying attention to the road to save gas.
Good luck with the Fit, it looks like a good car.
Are Hypermilers a menace on the road? {Autoblog Green}
May 7th 2008 11:43AM My limited experience with hypermilers is that they are actually more cognizant of other drivers around them. They don't talk on there cell phones or fiddle with the radio, they are concentrating on the road ahead of them. Similar to the speeders in that regard, because they need to figure out how they are going to pass the next car ahead of them.
The dangerous people are the ones who are not paying attention to the road or anything else around them. The ones who are in the left lane of a multi-lane road when they aren't passing anyone or don't use their signal when they turn or change lanes.
I'm sure some hypermilers are obstructive, but most of them are doing the speed limit, which would be good for all of us to try.
