I'm still learning to hypermile, but when we travel on the highway, we do notice how much gas we save going the speed limit. The best part is that we find we're never fighting traffic anymore, or weaving in and out of it, and we're rarely in jams. It's smooth sailing all the way, even through Toronto! Nice car!

Let me tell you, when you can SEE your mileage drop to 6 MPG (or less) while you're accelerating, you tend to hold back a little unless you really need to rock and roll (like when you're stuck behind someone talking on their cell phone). My guess is that a gauge like that would change anyone's driving style.
