I'll conceed that the general public is not going to hypermile. Sadly, much of the general public drives agressively and distracted. This might be a tangent, but if the general public cut down on the aggressive/distracted driving, a considerable amount of fuel would be saved.

For every hypermiler that acts as if he is on the last tank of gas he will ever get, is at least ten drivers that pays ZERO attention to their driving habits.

For what my opinion is worth, a long commute with light traffic probably would make some hypermiling an activity to avoid boredom. Even if you need to cruise at 70mph, a little listening to your hybrid can save some gas.

I definitely did not hypermile as much five years ago as I do now - some situations I go faster if it's needed.
