Oye, good luck. What counts as hypermiling? Driving at or below the speed limit? Anticipating lights and traffic? Avoiding rapid acceleration? Taking alternate routes to avoid high speed interstates and traffic?

And how will you compare those who drive mostly highway, to mostly city, to mostly rural and mixed. How about those with short commutes or long commutes?

The point is, even with the restrictions you tried to put on here you leave so much variability that the answers you get will be nearly meaningless.

Why not tell us what you get and under what conditions (see the fuel economy forum and the list of questions to be answered before you post a question there) and perhaps we can give you some reasonable feedback.

My personal tank to tank FE can vary from as low as 40mpg on a 75+ MPH interstate trip with a loaded car to 72+mpg in my usual commute in the late spring and early fall. But then I 'hypermile', so my numbers won't help you.

Yep.

There is also tremendous geographic and climatic variability within the states themselves
