It is a definitive term for a method acknowledged and used by people tired of dependence on foreign oil. Wayne is tireless in his quest to teach people how to maximize fuel economy in whatever they drive. He is currently on a Guinness World book of records through all 48 states. http://www.cleanmpg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17691 Doug:

I try to hypermile somewhat. I don't do the dangerous stuff like drafting off trucks or shutting off your ignition while going down hill on the highway, but I do fill my tires to 37 psi, coast as much as I can, short-shift and skip-shift (I have a manual transmission) and time stoplights. I was able to get 38 mpg regularly out of a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am 5-spd man. 2.2L. I recently traded that in for a Pontiac Vibe 5-spd man. 1.8L for the practicality of the wagon/hatch-back. I've only gone through one tank so far, but on that tank I got 42.5 mpg. I’ve heard a few people use that word in conversation now.
