Re: Red Alert! Hypermilers Threatening Australia!

Hi Wayne:

You are really something else. One of your administrators calls me something similar to a racist, and then you call me a numbskull. Both of you keep bringing up the AAA, which I am not...

Re: Red Alert! Hypermilers Threatening Australia!

I think a big part of the misunderstanding here is one of semantics. For most people I know, the word "hypermiling" means a group of techniques that are likely to result in lower fuel consumption....
