The article states that safety effect is offset by the vehicle's tendency to roll.

However, I *believe* that we, as hypermilers, conduct ourselves in vehicles much differently than a typical driver. We watch our speed. We are more aware of the road conditions. Therefore, we *avoid* situations that may cause accidents and thus rollovers.

On a recent trip to SW Pa, I drove the 324 miles in my FEH, rarely touching the speed limit of 65 (unless down hill) averaging 31.4 mpg. With a bubble luggage carrier on top of the car. Fully loaded.

The last time I did that trip, I rushed and pushed through the entire trip and got 25,4 in much more favorable weather conditions.

Less speed, more MPG, less chance of a rollover, IMO.
