This Guy Can Get 59 MPG in a Plain Old Accord. Beat That, Punk.

Drafting 18-wheelers with the engine off, taking death turns at 52 miles an hour, and other lessons learned while riding shotgun with the king of the hypermilers

Quite an interesting writeup about Wayne Gerdes, of cleanmpg, he who coined "hypermiler".

I found it both funny (the writer, an "outsider", subjected to extreme hypermiling techniques) and surprisingly engaging - suspenseful even (the "bio" bits are intertwined with a play-by-play of the stiff competition in the 2005 Hybridfest mpg competition).

Also getting a nod in the article is Danny boy, paradigmatic Prius pilot.
