Wow, I just realized one important thing... If I was ever to achieve hypermiler status and I operated my vehicle at a lower latitude... say continental US would that be indicative of my proficiency and forum leverage compared to someone else (equally as good) that drives mostly in Alaska- but can NEVER register the impressively high MPGs?


There's is no question, that the folks that have pioneered the hypermiling techniques have made a monster contribution for the benefit of us all. But, I hope that that is not a criteria of perpetual entitlement to used override everyone else - who may or may not be right.
