Dear Tigerhonaker & Gonavy,

Grasshopper is humbled by your quick and thorough replies. Yes I do want all your comments. I am after the truth after all!
I have realized how valuable these forums are. People in my family think I am nuts when I talk about "hypermiling." Gonavy said the most obvious yet least promoted statement, "NOTE: 95% of these tricks are good for ANY vehicle. They have nothing at all to do with the 'hybrid-ness' of it." I NEVER thought about trying to coast a car with an automatic transmission before coming across this forum in February. Besides wasn't it illegal to coast at one time in ancient history, like when we all used to drive standard transmissions? Maybe that is just what my Dad told me.
OK so now my newest tankful of gasoline is the second coming of hypermiling for me. I tried it once, got tired, gave up and now I'm back. Tigerhonaker posted some amazing numbers on his KY trip. I am trying to use cruise at 60-65 in right lane for my hwy portions and will not brake unless forced. Actually, I already do have a negative gut reeaction to having to brake when I am in the hypemiling zone state of mind.
Gonavy's last thread was insight for renaming the problem as one of expectations. You guys sound like engineers who have analyzed these issues for a long time. THe automotive industry is just beginning to hype all hybrids as being the answer to high gas prices. Yes, caveat emptor, absolutely. Sometimes though it takes a while to believe the obvious; coasting more and braking less will increase FE in ANY vehicle, the lighter the better.
SO yes, I may try to post some numbers for the other Hondas, that is a great idea. I don't have any now(I won't make any up), but I will see what I can gather up. Yeah I know I should try to make the driving conditions and the driver as similar as possible across vehicles for an accurate comparison.
Thank you for your support and ideas, they are insightful, helpful, and greatly appreciated.
Roland
