I'm hypermiling my wife's car and she doesn't even know it

Of course, my mantra is that the best mod to make is the driver, but I'm helping my wife get better mileage without her knowledge. She already drives like a hypermiler in regard to accelaration and driving style. But she scoffs at my attempts to hypermile (like removing the towing package and luggage rack), so I decided to go stealth.

I am solely responsible for the upkeep of the vehicles, so it's really my own discretion. So far, I've over-inflated the tires and taken out a bunch of extra weight. She keeps meticulous records, so I'm going to see if it's helping at all. I'm not using additives in her car like I am in my Tribute. She's got a 2005 TSX and it's in pristine condition.

Any other stealth hypermilers out there?
