How right on you are!

It amazed me sometimes when people will talk up how far you can push a normal car while forgetting those same techniques work on any car, hybrids as well.

Like the owner over at cleanmpg. He can push near 50 mpg in a Accord sedan. Amazing! But give him an insight and he is near 100mpg!
